(Seems to reduce fan RPM, certainly lower than it is under Windows...)

Note: I still find the fan unnecessarily noisy. I think when my warranty is up, I'll experiment with some resistors to lower the voltage to the fan, as well as applying ArcticSilver5...

Hi Guys;

How to Fix HP ProBook 4730s Graphics Issue using SwitchResX
This guide is intended for HP ProBook 4730s Graphics Issue, it may or may not work for other ProBook models.

Background
This solution fixes what are perceived as graphic issues on the HP ProBook 4730s.

Overview
We have to create a custom "Display Override" using the HP ProBook Installer and SwitchResX. The HP ProBook Installer is used to install a base "Display Override" file and SwitchResX is used to append that file with more definition information that make the display work correctly.

Important:
Do not install SwitchResX until your "Display Override" base file is installed and the system rebooted.

First we need to make a "Display Override" base file.

1.. Install a "Display Override" base file . . .
Use the ProBook Installer version 5.1b1, choose "EDID generator"
ProBook Installer is here . . . http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-probook/63348-hp-probook-installer-4-1b1.html#post403237

The "Display Override" is installed in "/System/Library/Displays/Overrides/" folder.

2.. Repair Permissions and ReBoot the laptop.

3.. Install SwitchResX, it will ask for your permissions etc.
( I selected "Install for all user's of this computer" to make it a system wide install )

4.. Make the following selection and save before closing SwitchResX.

( you can examine the override file in the your "Display Override" folder by dragging and dropping it on TextEdit in the Applications folder )

5.. Reboot system and open "Display Preferences"
Result in Display Preferences . . . http://www.tonymacx86.com/attachmen...2215587-hp-probook-4730s-monitor-colour-2.jpg

6.. For testing, open "Mission Control" via keyboard, Apple Dock or Desktop, however you activate it.

"Mission Control" should open briskly with no glitches. Now you can use the Apple Dock, in fact everything without fear of graphics issues.

Thanks to tegezee and several testers that reported results.

Hi guys can anyone help me fix some problems.

I have 4730s HP, but newer version b0x88ea with different components.

my DSDT

dsdt.aml

What I have problems with is:

My trackpad doesn't work after I put my laptop to sleep (trackpad was installed properly in system preferences but then I tried to repair something and now it doesn't work, and there is no setting in trackpad preferences)

When I turn on laptop and it is not connected to power, display is dimmed and I can't increase brightness with keyboard, and then it freezes.

When brightness is not set to half or full, my wireless doesn't work, and then i increase it and it starts working.

Sometimes my USB crashes computer when i plug in USB stick.

I know how to setup keyboard with UKULELE and i have no problem with that.

And ofc I have ati radeon 7470, I know that you can turn it on, but still I have to ask.

I would be grateful if someone can help me with this.

Cheers!
