Hi @RehabMan,

Thank you for that link. It worked. The key for:

1. Brightness up key = kernel: (ACPIDebug) ACPIDebug: "EC _Q8F enter"
2. Brightness down key = kernel: (ACPIDebug) ACPIDebug: "EC _Q8E enter"

If I understood your guide correctly I need to patch the DSDT with the following script:

Code: 
into method label _Q10 replace_content
begin
// Brightness Down\n
    Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x0405)\n
end;
into method label _Q11 replace_content
begin
// Brightness Up\n
    Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x0406)\n
end;


_Q10 must be replaced with _Q8F and _Q11 replaced with Q8E. Is this correct ?

Then I can run the script.

Basically, yes.
 
Mike,
any luck on this it's one of my last 2 remaining issues. If so where did you put the code. I looked at your EFI you didn't disable nvidia discrete isn't your battery life really bad?
Code: 
into method label _Q10 replace_content
begin
// Brightness Down\n
    Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x0405)\n
end;
into method label _Q11 replace_content
begin
// Brightness Up\n
    Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x0406)\n
end;

That is a MaciASL patch.
Paste in MaciASL "Patch" window.
 
into what file dsdt.dsl?

Hi @RehabMan,

The brightness keys are functional.

Just a note : For some reason the dsl did not have the _Q10 and Q11 methods. I did a search and found
_Q8F and _Q11. So I just added the appropriate notify event to the methods.

One more item and that is wifi. I'm still waiting on this. Then the machine is 100% functional. In the meantime I'm using a cheap edimax wifi usb stick. It works, but drops connection from time to time.
