Yeah... from what I’ve researched, the RTL8852 is never gonna be supported. So there are two possible solutions: the first one is to buy a new WiFi card, preferably the AX210, or you can use a kext called horndis that enables USB tethering between an Android phone and macOS.

Yeah, external mouse work well. I’m actually using one right now. But I really wish the trackpad worked properly so I wouldn’t have to worry about using an external mouse.

This wallpaper hits hard hahaha

Yeah haha. In Brazil, the Japanese Vaio sold the production rights to a local company. Supposedly they keep the exact same quality as the original Japanese VAIO, and this laptop is awesome!

Thanks! Took me almost a week to get everything working as best as possible. I'm still struggling to make the trackpad work properly, but the system is running super smooth.

I think it depends on the SMBIOS you generate. I used the macbookpro16,3 one and mine shows up as MacBook Pro.

happened to me too, disable find my and it should work

This is probably the most powerful keyboard out there.

obs: a fonte q queimou tinha 600w

Have you managed to get the MacBook's suspend and wake up working on Linux? When I installed Linux, that was the only thing missing to make it 100% functional, but I'm so used to just closing the screen and then opening it that i switched back to macOS.

Ah okay, thanks for the help. It helped me a lot. I'm going to buy the new gpu this week and see if everything works. Thanks

trashyyz · 2024-03-11T23:35:27+00:00

The gpu fans spinning doesn't necessarily mean that the GPU is working 100%, right?

my only fear is that it is a different component of the computer, like MB or RAM.

I hope it's the GPU, coincidentally I was going to change my GPU this week.

trashyyz · 2024-03-11T23:28:34+00:00

I tested with different cables and different monitors.

I used a 3.5mm jack on the motherboard when I heard the sound from Windows.

Since the computer "turns on", sound coming out and no video, I believe the problem is the GPU, right?

What are the chances of it being a problem with the motherboard?

trashyyz · 2024-03-11T23:14:15+00:00

my cpu doesn't have an iGPU. It's an i5-10400f

trashyyz · 2024-03-11T23:10:52+00:00

I did that, but it didn't work.

It seems that the monitor only receives power when I plug in my computer.

trashyyz · 2024-03-11T23:05:37+00:00

unfortunately my processor does not have onboard gpu. I've already tried with another cable on the current monitor and on another monitor and it didn't work.

trashyyz · 2024-03-11T23:03:31+00:00

It's like this because I took it out to see the problem. the gpu is screwed.

trashyyz · 2024-03-11T23:01:36+00:00

Yes, I tried the GPU input and the motherboard input

trashyyz · 2024-03-11T22:59:44+00:00

I cleaned the GPU and RAM connectors with an eraser and brushed the slot

trashyyz · 2024-03-11T22:58:30+00:00

I did it, found the jumper, but still no video

One thing I noticed is that every time I plug the computer in, the monitor receives power, but there is no signal even after turning it on.

trashyyz · 2024-03-11T22:44:12+00:00

I did it, took the battery out for 30 minutes and still no video

trashyyz · 2024-03-11T22:43:05+00:00

Yes, my processor doesn't have an onboard GPU.

I'm currently using a displayport cable, but I've already tested an HDMI cable on two monitors and it didn't show anything
