My theory (only my theory, he never said this) is that after posting "Read the FAQ" 159,469 times over a period of seven years people were still not doing what he asked them to and he had enough and quit.

What he asked im curious?

best for you use a later version of clover first with config,plist from Rehabman

Did what you advised, Rehabman's config did not work, I ended up using someone else's config who has a similar laptop and with that I was able to see the desktop for the first time. Updated CLOVER fixed the problem. Thank you.
Now I am able to reach to the desktop without the USB drive.
I'll play with this and do some research before posting any questions
Thank you!

Also how does Mojave run on this laptop? Should I get an older/updated verison of MacOS?

I used this guide on an 850 G1 Haswell and have had a bizarre set of issues.

If macOS triggers sleep in any way, as soon as the screen shuts off, it cannot turn back on without rebooting. The computer does not even need to go to sleep entirely for the display to stop working.

However, using the CLOVER folder from eddygraphic's success thread, sleep and wake work as expected. I would just use this CLOVER indefinitely, but I don't have any audio when using it.

I have attached problem reporting files which contains Rehabman's no-sleep hotpatched CLOVER as well as eddygraphic's CLOVER (called SleepNoAudio.zip).

Any help figuring this out would be appreciated!
