Hello,

I have just bought this computer, and cloned HS from an Acer S3 Sandy Bridge.

ISSUES
1-I'd like to patch my DSDT, but don't know the patches I need. When I try to shutdown, it reboots.
2-The most annoying thing is that fans run faster and noisier than hell and the computers seems to get very hot.
3-Audio is not working, I don't know the patch I need, neither.

I attach debugging files.

Thank you for your help,

PS Things I will and know how to improve: I'll change the wifi dongle (by an out-of-the-box half mini-pcie Atheros AR5B91) and buy a new battery (there's no battery in this very moment).

Thank you for helping me.

I've done the following patches:
[igpu] hd3000 low resolution
[sys] add imli
[sys-] irq fix
[sys] hpet fix
[usb] 6-series usb (HM65)
[sys] ac adapter fix
[sys] fix_WAK Arg0 v2
[sys] RTC fix
[sys] Fix PNOT/PPNT

Now I can use all the USBs, although if I connect an external 2.5" HDD, computer hangs (it happened before, too)-black screen, and I have to hard reboot.

Worrying Thing: I cannot shutdown, it doesn't (it just gives me a black screen). Before, it rebooted when trying to shutdown.
If I tell it to sleep, I get the same: black screen and computer doesn't respond. Some advice?

I attach debug files and the modified dsdt.aml

"Problem Reporting" files are incomplete (EFI/Clover missing).
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/
Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

Also, your profile is missing screen resolution and chipset.
Please fix as per FAQ.

Hello.

I'm using the tool.

The problem is that I'm using an MBR HFS+ partition, because my computer has BIOS, not UEFI. It seems F4 and F2 (using your r4444 Clover) doesn't work with MBR partitions. F4 and F2 work on my Lenovo U330, UEFI GPT HFS+ partition; but not in this computer; it never worked with my old Acer 5315, neither.

So, what's missing and how can I get it to post it here? If I can shutdown the computer, that'll be great.

Thank you,

Even with Clover legacy, Clover is installed to FAT32 "CLOVER EFI" (on MBR partitioned USB).
Refer to the guide:

Of course,
When I go to mySSDdisk/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/origin there's nothing there. This has always happened to me with all my LEGACY clover machines on MBR partitions, don't matter clover version, don't matter if pressing F4 or Fn+F4.

But on my CLOVER EFI Lenovo F4 works.
