Your DSDT needs work. All access to EC registers is already 8-bit, but I think there is an initialization problem. Perhaps because of checks against OS that is running do not include checks for "Darwin" I've made some changes... look for "//was" (there are just two places) and you'll see my edits.

Uncompiled DSL is attached. Use MaciASL to load it, and do Save As... File Format "ACPI Machine Language Binary" and then place the result in /Extra/dsdt.aml and give it a try.

Hello, I have the same problem with the battery monitor as our mate pachuca, I'm using AppleSmartBatteryManager.kext on my laptop but I only have this on the menu bar:

and I can this messages on my system.log:

Apr 26 00:01:26 MacBook-Pro kernel[0]: AppleSmartBatteryManager:getBatteryBIF(0xE00002BC) failed
Apr 26 00:01:26 MacBook-Pro kernel[0]: AppleSmartBatteryManager:getBatteryBST(0xE00002BC) failed

Anybody could help me, please??

Thanks in advance.

PD: I have attached my DSDT.

Your DSDT has a lot of 16-bit registers (CAP0, VOT0 as examples -- I just took a quick look...). They all need to be converted to 8-bit access.

Do I have to change all of them or only some of them??

All of them accessed directly or indirectly from the "Control Method Battery" (see ACPI spec) methods (_BST, _BIF, _STA).
See ProBook battery patch for example: https://github.com/RehabMan/HP-ProBook-4x30s-DSDT-Patch

I have found and modified 7 of them, but now I have some errors. How do I fix them??

Once you change the names and split them up, then you have to change all the code that references them to take the two 8-bit values and put them together to form a 16-bit value (see B1B2 and use of B1B2 in ProBook patches).

Maybe show exactly what you've done/changed so far...

Warning: it is a bit 'involved' and probably not possible unless you have some programming experience.

I have programming experience, but I'm more proficient on C#, Java or similars, so that's the reason I'm asking for help. Could you help me, please?
