Aloha RehabMan,

Nice work ! However, I get a "Mach-O file is malformed ..." error when I try to use it.

I just downloaded your RehabMan-Battery-2013-0805.zip last night.

I have a Sony Vaio VGN-NR180E (C2Duo) running 10.7.5 / 32 bit.

It has a dead battery but refuses to recognize that it's running on A/C, still thinks that the power source is the battery.

I'll give 1.32 a whirl but I have shied away from that after reading that your latest (1.32-1.33) change involved fixing a Sony issue.

TIA,

bisk

I just downloaded from the drop point (on code.google.com), installed on my ProBook... and it works just fine.

Probably your DSDT has not been (properly) patched...

I downloaded the 1.32 version and get the malformed / invalid magic number feedfacf with that one too.

Are folks using this on 32 bit Lion ? I have never needed to deal with the 8/16 bit battery thing in the DSDT for a 32 bit installation before. Could it be that this kext is only meant for 64 bit use ?

Yep, no doubt, I'm just gettin' started on this one but ain't nuthin' in my DSDT gonna keep a kext from loading.
I'm not that good

Something is wrong with your install...

The build is 64-bit only. You can build a 32-bit version if you need it. You are posting in the ML forum, but using Lion? ML does not have a 32-bit mode.

I realize that.

I was referring to your battery indication issues, under the assumption you were getting this version or another one to actually load.

I was just jokin' man

I simply googled on something like "laptop power source battery when on A/C" and jumped in here - never noticed that it was an ML specific forum. My bad

Yep, trying to load a 64 bit only kext on a 32 bit system is not happening.

This Sony has the Intel GMAX3100 so 32 bit is all it's gonna do.

This portable is a bit nasty. About This Mac logs you out, backlight does not recover from screen dimming, RAM slots are not recognized by System Profiler and I had a 6-way split screen until I popped a custom EDID in Display Overrides.

I s'pose that the confusion between where the power is coming from is the least of my worries !

Maybe, it acts OK when there is a good battery attached. Right now, I don't have one and so cannot say.

Perhaps I'll have a run at building a 32 bit version if/when I get a chance. I haven't compiled anything since the OpenStep days so I'm a bit out of date on that

Thanks again for your time )

If/when you get around to building it, easy as:

Pre-requisites:
- xcode 4.6.3 installed
- xcode command line tools installed

# in Terminal
cd directory-where-you-downloaded-the-project
make BITS=32
# or if you want universal kexts (32 and 64)
make BITS=3264
