[Guide] Asus G750JW High Sierra 10.13.5

[TheWiggler]

I appreciate you taking a look at this RehabMan. For whatever reason the screen brightness control seems to be working now, but the keyboard brightness control doesn't work at all. I see that the Graphics Card reports as 3072 MB of VRAM, but that's the Asus G750JX model. My model is the G750JW and it only has 2GB (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M 2GB GDDR5). When I first installed the MacOS some time ago on this laptop, I'm pretty sure something fried my battery. I ordered a new one, but I've been reluctant to use it when booting to MacOSx (I've been leaving it out). There's a chance that the EFI folder pcfr33k recently uploaded may have fixed any power/battery issues, but if you could please keep an eye out. Using the gen_bug.sh tool the ioreg dump kept failing, so I did a manual Save As (hopefully I did that correctly). See attached and thanks again.
