Hello all,
I've seen a few threads on this laptop and I'm happy to say that I've had some success with it. I have a few questions as far as post installation for my hardware... I'm aware that OS X does not support Intel WiFi cards :/ so the next idea is to upgrade the card with something compatible. Problem is this laptop has a locked BIOS and a whitelist of hardware it accepts. I really don't want to void my warranty by flashing a modded/patched BIOS, so I'm really hoping one of the whitelisted cards will work natively.....
Could anyone tell me if any of these cards work natively or am I better off getting a usb adapter? Maybe even show me where to check this? I don't really want to sacrifice one of my usb ports..
Other than wifi, I still can't seem to find a way to use my Nvidia GT-755m with mavericks. When i boot with flags (-f -v) it shows it sees my Nvidia card has 0gb when it has 2gb. I think I am using integrated (boot with GraphicsEnabler=Yes IntelAzulFB=12 -f -v) which seemed a bit choppy until messed around in the color settings under System Prefrences > Display which seemed to fix it...we shall see. Also I don't think power management works for it. Shows my battery percentage but dies pretty quickly (although I am running 2 HDDs in this laptop; separate drive for Mac) and sleep function does not seem to work. I've been working on this for 5 days collectively and have had a hell of a ride!!
There are way too many to thank for the installation help!! And many thanks in advance for helping me with this
