Hey everyone =

Followed the guide, thanks by the way, including links to links to links of guides, but I still need your lights please. Reaching the max of my computer knowledge and understanding...

Basically i'm at the same point as user "Husek" on page 18 of this thread.

I'm still getting no joy on so far tested :
- Backlight
- Keyboard backlight
- (and wifi + BT because I still need to change the hardware. So might cause further problems)

Other things will need fixing and stabilising before being able to start working with Adobe Suite, but going step by step.
As I said, not being as good (but improving) in this domain, please make remarks on the files attached if incoherent.

Cheers

"Problem Reporting" files are too large.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

kexts should be installed to /Library/Extensions, also no need to remove system kexts, you can use Coolstar's patches instead
 
Did anyone try to update to Mojave 10.14? Any issue? I have a very similar laptop with 10.13.6 working flawlessly except for screen brightness, and I was wondering if to upgrade to 10.14

Keep in mind no Nvidia web drivers released for Mojave yet.

Click Compile and if you have any errors (warnings don’t matter) try again. Save the file as: DSDT.aml in a new folder on desktop called “SSDTs” and file format: ACPI Machine Language Binary."

I do not understand how to do this keyboard backlight patch despite googling and reading from many threads. Would you mind telling me how to apply this code in MaciASL? Really appreciate your reply.

It means add the code after the SCDG method (after the closing brace of SCDG).
 
Hi! I want to try this on my GL502VS-Q72S-CB. does it work with high sierra or should i use the same version you used? and btw I can't load any image on the first post so I don't know how to make the usb and other stuff.
