Good day, I found your GitHub post googling my kids Acer swift 3 laptops. I was using clover to run Mojave for their remote schooling, however I’m new to this and the units were not finished properly. With clover I was able to get most of the hardware working.

The things that work are as follows: display with brightness control. USB ports, not sure if they are running at the best speeds though. Keyboard with backlight. Webcam though grainy. I replaced the ngff WiFi card, so bt and WiFi works natively. Removed the 16gb optane memory and swapped in a wd 500gb ssd.

Problem areas, again because I’m a noob: no audio output or mic, kids are complaining having to use bt and usb headphones. No track-pad, again I’m a bad dad. No sd card. No fingerprint reader.

I recently wiped my son’s unit and redid it using your acer swift3 2018 download. Now its on Catalina with the same exact issues as before. No audio, track-pad, etc. when the unit boots there’s a string of text scrolling by so fast I can’t read then I get a menu to boot from the ssd. Basically I’d appreciate your help to get the last bit of things working.

This is what I have. See link https://www.cnet.com/products/acer-swift-3-sf315-52-52yn-15-6-core-i5-8250u-8-gb-ram-1-tb-hdd-us-international/
