you will most likely need to replace the hardware
 
I have exact same configuration laptop and i've used your patches. Things that won't work are KB and TP. During boot the KB works perfect but the moment i touch the TP everything fails, both the KB and TP won't work. Help would be appreciated.
 
Hello @gotmilk70
I have the exact same laptop you do, same hardware model.
If I just use the zip on the first post altogether with everythere there and paste it directly to my clover folder, will I have to do anything else? Or do I have to edit everything manually still?
 
Hello, how are you? Its been a while since I touched hackintosh, and now i bought the acer nitro 5 and I found this, Awesome! Can you send me the kexts and files you used for installing your distro? Ill be very grateful, Thanks a lot!!!

Hey everyone,
I have purchased a new laptop that is more modern than the Elitebook 8770w I was using prior. I now have an Acer Nitro 5 Gaming laptop that I plan on dual booting Windows 10 and macOS 10.14. As the title shows, I almost have everything working on this system. Let me attach my hardware specs and what is/isn't working :

Intel Core i5-7300HQ (2.5Ghz-3.5Ghz)
Intel HM175 Chipset
Intel HD 630 Graphics and nVidia Geforce GTX 1050 Ti w/ 4GB GDDR5 VRAM
A-Data 8GB DDR4 2133Mhz RAM
Intel 256GB NVMe 600P PCI-E SSD (Windows)
Seagate 480GB SATA III SSD (macOS)
Windows Trackpad using I2C Bus (Synaptics Based Pad)
Broadcom BCM943602BAED Wireless AC + BT 4.1 NGFF Card (Dell DW1830) (On order, using older BCM94360CS2)

KB/TP: KB is working w/ VoodooPS2 V2018-0922. TP is working with VoodooI2C V2.1.4 and disabling of Apple's I2C drivers.

I have a Nitro 5 and I'm running catalina on it.

How did you deal with the fan. The impression I have is that my fan is "running like a hell". Can you help me with that?
