Hi, after digging a bit, I can't understand what I should change for disabling my Nvidia card.

In my SSDT-6-ACRPRDCT.dsl I have _INI, _OFF, _HGOF methods, so I think it should be easier
What I did:

My original _INI:

Code:

Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized) // _INI: Initialize { Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.RP01.PXSX._ADR) }

My modified _INI:

Code:

Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized) // _INI: Initialize { Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.RP01.PXSX._ADR) \_SB.PCI0.RP01.PXSX._OFF _OFF() }

Here I added those two lines according to the guide. All those methods are in the same file. So, thats why i didnt call external but anyways this gives me compiled error -> syntax error, unexpected PARSEOP_NAMESEG

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My _OFF Method right now (I didn't touch it):

Code:

Method (_OFF, 0, Serialized) // _OFF: Power Off { If (LEqual (CCHK (Zero), Zero)) { Return (Zero) } If (LNotEqual (GPRF, One)) { Store (VREG, VGAB) } HGOF () Return (Zero) }

So, here I saw that EC was not called in _OFF Method as you described in this guide, so instead I Digged into HGOF() method that is called in _OFF function and saw that EC was there.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My original HGOF:

Code:

Method (HGOF, 0, Serialized) { If (LEqual (CCHK (Zero), Zero)) { Return (Zero) } Store (Zero, ONOF) Store (LCTL, ELCT) Store (One, LNKD) While (LNotEqual (LNKS, Zero)) { DDLY (One) } SGPO (HLRS, One) SGPO (PWEN, Zero) Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.VGAF) \_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.SCTB () Return (Zero) }

the only thing I changed was comment the line

Code:

//\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.SCTB ()

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, in my original _REG Method I have this:

Code:

Method (_REG, 2, NotSerialized) // _REG: Region Availability { If (LEqual (Arg1, One)) { If (LGreaterEqual (OSYS, 0x07DD)) { Store (TPDS, ^^LPCB.EC0.TOHP) Store (One, ^^LPCB.EC0.TPRD) } } }

Now I don't know how to continue, any help, please?
Thanks for your patience.

You have not patched ACPI...
Read post #1 and read the ACPI patching guide also:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-patching-laptop-dsdt-ssdts.152573/

I see nothing special in your ACPI/origin files.
_OFF is in SSDT-6.
Path is _SB.PCI0.RP01.PXSX.
_INI is in the same file.
_OFF has no EC references, but calls HGOF which does have EC references.
Such EC related code will need to move to _REG.

Thanks Rehabman!
Mi card is now disabled and my battery lasts longer (not as in windows but longer) .
Anyways i don't think I patched in the right way but I will put here what I did for anyone who needs ( Acer aspire e5-576g-5762 )

In SSDT-6, in HGOF method i only changed this line:

Code:

            \_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.SCTB ()

for this:

Code:

            External(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0._REG, MethodObj) // move to _REG

full HGOF:

Code:

        Method (HGOF, 0, Serialized)
        {
            If (LEqual (CCHK (Zero), Zero))
            {
                Return (Zero)
            }

            Store (Zero, ONOF)
            Store (LCTL, ELCT)
            Store (One, LNKD)
            While (LNotEqual (LNKS, Zero))
            {
                DDLY (One)
            }

            SGPO (HLRS, One)
            SGPO (PWEN, Zero)
            Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.VGAF) // move to _REG
            External(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0._REG, MethodObj) // move to _REG
            Return (Zero)
        }

then, in _INI method:

Code:

        Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized)  // _INI: Initialize
        {
            Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.RP01.PXSX._ADR)
           \_SB.PCI0.RP01.PXSX._OFF()
        }

Anyways don't trust on me because in occasions weird things happens to my laptop, like it shutdown automatically and, sometimes the screen freezes showing weird graphics and then i only can force power off.
i dont know if this is because I upgraded my ram to 16gb or I patched it wrongly.

No need to add the 'External' line in HGOF.
Just need to remove the EC related code (and put it in _REG).

You didn't mention the changes to _REG...
(make sure you read the guide).

Sorry, i readed the guide multiple times but I misunderstand as I see...
i have to put this two lines in _REG ?

Code:

            Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.VGAF) // move to _REG
            \_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.SCTB ()

there are two _reg, I guess is in ECO reg but where I should put those lines?

Code:

            Method (_REG, 2, NotSerialized)  // _REG: Region Availability
            {
                If (LEqual (Arg0, 0x03))
                {

Yes, but that code should only execute under the conditions mentioned in the guide.

done but I can't compile it :/

The code you have there is clearly not correct (why the attempt to recursively call _REG?).
Must move the code as originally in the SSDT exactly, with appropriate External declarations.
Read the guide carefully.
