[ref]erinviegas[/ref], Looks like the patch you are using is not relevant to your DSDT. Also, it seems that your DSDT in clover/acpi/others might just work as is. Make sure VirtualSMC, Lilu and SMCBatteryManager kexts are current. And that the kexts are installed together in a single location. I suggest keeping all third party kexts in clover/kexts/others instead.

[ref]yamvmax[/ref], You can post your specific issues faced while implementing your patch or wait patiently.

My battery display not working, along with keyboard backlight. My main issue is the battery. I will wait. Sorry, didnt know if anyone was looking into it.

[ref]yamvmax[/ref], Before I go any further, lets test your own patched DSDT. Please download smcbatterymanager.kext and replace acpibatterymanager.kext.


When using virtualsmc.kext, it is paired with smcbatterymanager.kext and not acpibatterymanager.kext

Im dealing with a new problem...I had to reinstall everything due to a bad kext, now my patched dsdt makes my comp not boot. Is this normal? Do i need to repatch my dsdt? I thought my patched dsdt would have been fine.

DSDT should be fine with last working config

I am back up running, I tried what you said....Nothing, still no battery. Are any edits to be done to my dsdt???

I think my biggest issue is patching my dsdt...I get errors. I try using MacIASL, but i get syntex errors


Added in 2 minutes 29 seconds:

Also, I still have ACIPoller.kext...Leave that?

[ref]yamvmax[/ref], No idea what ACIPoller kext does.

There are also other patches you dont need. But that is not the scope in this topic here.


Try this: DSDT.aml.zip.


Use Virtualsmc +SMCBatteryManager Kexts
