Apple (does) Care : With a happy ending
Friday afternoon just before heading home from work, streaming radio playing on my MacBook Pro while working on my work PC… Suddenly no more sound… Lost the WIFI connection. No panic, just reconnect, but to my big surprise there are no more hotspots detected (there are more than 10 in my office space). The basic troubleshooting begins: Reboot Reset PVRAM Creation of a WIFI hotspot on the MBP (Create Network) and nothing detected by my iPhone or my Dell PC. To no avail. I have to jump the shark and call Apple Care (I’ve been in the IT business for more than 20 years, so...
read moreeee 1000H(E) – DSDT files and the memory problem
Update: You can find a video tutorials on how to manipulate DSDT files on our new partner site technow.cc. As a lot of my readers have observed there are some problems when using certain dsdt.aml files with certain RAM configurations. It seems that when you export/generate dsdt.aml files from the real existing BIOS, the resulting export is not strictly identical and thus playing havoc with your configuration. The dsdt files contained in my packages (for the 1000H and the 1000HE) have both been generated with 2GB of memory, so there will be problems with eee PC that have not been upgraded...

read morethe 1000H is dead – long live the 1000EH
As I said in my previous article, my 1000H just died on me with a high pitched whining sound… It seems that it is beyond repair and I got a 1000HE instead. I love the new keyboard and the battery life is pretty amazing (and I got it in black which is more “manly” than the previous white one). I already installed Windows 7 on it and it works like a charm. I started hacking away with OSX and I’ll keep you posted how it goes in an upcoming...

Update: you can find new video tutorials on how to install SnowLeopard on our new partner site technow.cc. I just upgraded to version 10.5.7 of Leopard on my 1000H. I did this by downloading the Combo Update directly from Apple (just to be sure…) and executing it on the eee PC. Everything went fine, I just had to: reinstall the modified graphics kexts in version 10.5.7 reinstall the Bluetooth kext from the Fixes folder and strangely the PS2 kexts and to reapply the AboutThisMac.pkg All of those kexts can be found in the 10.5.7 folder from the Install Package in this eNik...
