Thanks to this hack I was able to install MacOS Sierra, prepare space for unsupported on this laptop Windows 10 Professional 64 bit and then shrink the windows partiton and install Arch Linux 64 bit with Plasma desktop. What does it do? It tells the laptop to turn off discrete AMD graphics and to use Intel card. Mount -t efivarfs rw /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/ & This is the script I have used while booted to Arch Linux live cd. So far I've managed to use a EFI hack to disable the discrete AMD graphics. This laptop has a i7 cpu, 4 cores 8 threads, I've extended its memory to 8 GB and I keep trying to bring it back to life. I am not a wealthy person and I love to tinker with the hardware. Its a common fault in those machines and the users were offered a replacement - there was a special recall program which ended long before I got my hands on this laptop. The discrete graphics in the laptop (AMD Radeon HD 6750M) is dead. This machine as many of its generation was dumped because of a graphics fault.
Now that the prototype works, the current plan is to make the adapter more compact and robust without using Apple's proprietary Airport connector.I own a MacBook Pro 2011 A1286 which I got as a freebie from a friend who saved it from the corporate dumpster. I reused my original adapter board I luckily kept from 2013, and lo and behold, it all works!! I was encouraged by several members, most prominently,, who said the Broadcom cards have the proper IPX antenna jack sizes on the card for the classic MBPs. This upgrade will work on the following models:ġ3" - Early 2011 through Mid 2012 - Model A1278ġ5" - Mid 2010 through Mid 2012 - Model A1286ġ7" - Mid 2010 through Late 2011 - Model A1297ġ3" - Late 2009 through Mid 2010 - Model A1342, Unibody White MacBook I am pleased to announce that 5 years after my post found here (where I threw in the towel early):, native 802.11ac WiFi and Bluetooth 4.2 are working on classic unibody MBPs!Īll of this was performed on a Mid-2012 A1278 13" MBP with Mojave 10.14.3.
