Toshiba Satellite C-55-A16C no sound, no wi-fi, low res

[jeefo254]

Hi,
I've managed to install Mavericks on my Toshiba laptop and I don't have anything working. No Wi-Fi, no Ethernet, no sound, 1024x768 resolution.. Now I'm installing it again because I messed around with a DSDT file presumably for my Intel PT10F Motherboard..

what I could get with Cpu-Z regarding my specs via Windows are:

CPU: Intel Pentium 2020m Ivy Bridge Socket 988B rPGA 2.4 GHz..
Network: Qualcom Atheros AR8172/8176/8178 PC-I Fast Ethernet
Qualcom Atheros AR96x Wireless Network Adapter

I couldn't find the sound board but I'm guessing it's Realtek.

If there's someone who can help me, I would really apreciate it!

The Intel integrated graphics on the Pentium 2020m are not supported.

So there's absolutely no chace of making it work? Because when I ran Maverick with VMWare on Windows 8.1 it worked perfectly, with lag of course, but it worked..

A VM is not a real computer -- it is fake. With a real computer, you need hardware that is compatible.

Not even the wifi or sound?

Your WiFi hardware is not supported. Compatible chipsets and the procedures for making them work are covered here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/network/104850-guide-airport-pcie-half-mini-v2.html

For audio: Best result with patched AppleHDA. Google 'patch AppleHDA guide'. Search for suitable AppleHDA or patch it yourself. Apply appropriate DSDT patches.

Thank you very much!

In that case I should delete it and get my space back for Windows, or I should wait for a possible fix?

Wait for possible fix for what?

I'm already installing Windows on the full Hard-Drive.

Again, thanks so much for your help, I should have research more on the matter before hand but seeing the Intel name everywhere I thought it could work.
