[Guide] Lenovo Z50-70/Z40-70/G50-70/G40-70 using Clover UEFI

[RehabMan]

Is it possible to make the internal card reader functional on this laptio with hackintosh? Thanks in advance.

If it is PCIe, you might try the kext linked by the FAQ:

The files you attached in post #506 prove your assertion false.

Anyways, sir, the AptioMemoryFix.efi solved the issue maybe, you are proven right as always sir, much love!

Cool.
AptioMemoryFix.efi, when it works, is the preferred "aptio fix" (over OsxAptioFix**.efi).

I installed Mac High Sierra on my Levono Z50-70 - it is working ok, but the internal keyboard/mouse are not working, I have an external one connected. Any ideas?

Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

Thank you for your reply. Apologies for the duplicate, I was meant to post it here but had the wrong tab open. Should've deleted it from the other thread in hindsight!

I made progress:

1. I used external keyboard to operate the system temporarily
2. I installed RealtekRTL8111.kext to get online
   
3. I followed all instructions including ./X50.sh --download-requirements && ./X50.sh --install-downloads
4. I booted without cached kexts (with -f boot arg) and ran sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /
5. I ran make && make make install_z50
6. I finally ran ./X50.sh --install-config and rebooted

The keyboard and trackpad work now, but the screen is showing garbage (see attached):

1. I tried to read through the thread and I tried setting FakeID: 0x12345678 as instructed in post #177, there was no change and the display is still showing garbage.
   
2. I tried reading through the FAQ, maybe I missed something, but I didn't find an answer to this problem and couldn't find mention of gen_debug.sh.
3. I tried to google and found this: https://github.com/black-dragon74/OSX-Debug/blob/master/gen_debug.sh - I hope that's the correct tool. Here is the output from this tool: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lx1gmgg8lh770mg/debug_1056.zip?dl=1

Any ideas why the screen is showing garbage or how to fix?

EDIT: This is the cheap version of the Z50-70 with 8GB ram, no discreet CPU, purchased in Aug 2014.

Enable CSM/legacy boot as per guide.

Enable CSM/legacy boot as per guide.

OMG, I totally misread that, I thought it means to enable legacy boot only after trying UEFI first. I didn't know enabling legacy boot can affect graphics. Thank you, the problem is fixed now! Woo!!

I purchased a Broadcom BCM943602BAED and it is too wide and does not fit to replace the original Realtek RTL8723BE - Is there a specific model I need or did you have to modify the hardware to make it fit?
