Mister3000 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 hi guys, Im hoping some one can help me out of this jam. maybe this is an easy fix but im lost. I've been running yosemite for years on my asus N53SV but i figured its time to upgrade.. and since i was told mojave its too much trouble im fine with going to High Sierra. my issue is this: I created a usb boot and grabbed a clover folder from a website that claimed everything worked out of the box. i was able to boot in to the setup screen, however my image looks all distorted. im guessing it has something to do with the fact that i replaced the panel on my laptop from a 720P to a 1080p display. i was able to solve this same issue when i was on yosemite by using a patched DSDT but if i use that same old patch DSDT then i get issues/conflicts like my internal keyboard and trackpad not working. This are my specs: ASUS N53SV HD3000 1080p i7 2670qm 512 GB SSD 8GB Ram maybe someone can point me in the right direction.. Im attaching aa picture in case someone has seen this issue before.

Mister3000 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 I just found my own mistake. i realized that I wrote “identifier” on the command instead of the disk number for my os installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister3000 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hi there, Looking for a little help here. Just updated to high sierra 10.13.6 and now all i get is black screen after boot up.Have read much about it, and all i can find is that i need the intelfixup kext. however that kext its already part of whatevergreen and lilu, both of those kexts are already on my efi folder.Any ideas whats causing the black screen after upgrading from 10.13.2 to 10.13.6 ?sandy bridge ASUS N53SV i7 HD3000 intel graphics / GT540M Discrete graphics Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisk Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) I've got your exact laptop except that my display is only 13x7 so you need DualLink and I do not. I have 10.13.6 running perfectly and 10.12 was as well, except that I KP on wake. Does your unit sleep and wake OK ? Upload your EFI folder and I'll do the same with mine. You are welcome to my DSDT but you need to be updated to the latest Asus BIOS v215. I do not use IntelFixup or WhateverGreen. Let's collaborate & figure this out Edited January 29, 2019 by bisk add info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisk Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Yep, but my problem is that I reboot/freeze on wake. This is a dual GPU system where I believe that I have disabled the dedicated NVidia GT540M correctly as there is no sign of it in the registry. I probably should start a new topic for this, eh ?

Thanks Hi... May I ask you for efi clover files? I have problems with my n53sv installing High Sierra! (10.13.5) My problem is after first Installing (coping macOS files on volume), I got the "expired / could not be installed => for some unknown reason!)".
