I've managed to stumble my way to a stable Hackintosh 10.6.7, but there are a couple of issues that stop me having full functionality.
My laptop thinks its a desktop! There's no battery icon or battery options in system preferences. If the laptop is unpluged and battery runs out there's no low battery warning and it shuts off.The other problem is no sleep functioning. I've got a Toshiba Satalite Pro and used easy beast because i dont know what motherboard its got.

Any help (not to technical,I'm new to this) would be a great.

First thing would be to install AppleSmartBatteryManager. See: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-ACPI-Battery-Driver. I've never tested it on 10.6.7, but I know it works on 10.6.8.

And you will never get sleep working NullCPUPowerManagement.kext (it comes with EasyBeast). You will need to implement power management, which is usually fairly simple in 10.6.x. But it depends on your CPU/hardware.
 
Thanks, I'll give that a go.
Do I go to BIOS to set up power management?
