HP Elitebook Folio 9840m is so close to perfect!

[ButchMeatHook42069]

So I was able to install Mojave on my HP Elitebook Folio 9840m and had been waiting until I was able to install the new Broadcom WiFi card before getting to involved with attempting the few modifications I need to make to have this machine running perfectly.

 

The only issues I have at the moment are the headphone jack is not working, when the laptop falls asleep it will not wake up and he fan also seems to run quite a lot. The headphone jack I don’t care about but the sleep issue need to be repaired. 

 

I have attached my DSDT file and hope to get some advise on how to fix these issues.

 

Also, I have been unable to install Catalina. I have built several different installer disks using every method but OpenCore.  I have had success in the past with older PC laptops and older operating systems but my HP Elitebook Folio 9840m is driving me mad!

 

ANy help would be greatly appreciated. I did donate through paypal

How and where do I place that code? Is that for the config.plist?

Hmmm. nothing happens

is hard to discovery if don't return nothing

[MrPoopyButtHole42069]

I did a complete reinstall on a new hard drive and used the rehabman post install method and still had the sleep/wake issue. I started experimenting with the BIOS and changed the VIDEO MEMORY setting from 512mb to 32mb and now sleep works! I don't know if the default is set to 512mb or I had changed it (more is better!) but changing it seems to have fixed the issue. Do you have any idea if that will affect the video card performance?

 

Thanks for trying to help! 

[MrPoopyButtHole42069]

So changing the VIDEO MEMORY setting in the BIOS has allowed simple installations and upgrades. An issue I'm having now after upgrading to Catalina and installing the latest updates (10.15.6) I have lost bluetooth. Another thing I have noticed is it takes wifi a while (2-4 minutes) to activate. Any help would be appreciated.

[MaLd0n]

[MrPoopyButtHole42069]

Broadcom BCM94352Z

[MaLd0n]

Here you go. Again - Thank you!

Where do I change this? I am assuming the config.plist but I don't see where. Thanks!
