[Guide] How to patch DSDT for working battery status

[FreeJHack]

@FreeJHack , can you check mine , too ?

You've to refer to VirtulaSMC docs at https://github.com/acidanthera/VirtualSMC
However, ACPI errors are present in your kernel log, the _DSM method (most probably PR00) is present twice.

Can you help me to solve it?

@freejack , Tx for your reply. Happy new year !

It is a bit confusing to me, kindly clarify

1. are you saying the patch _STA to XSTA must be disabled like this ?

2. AND THAT the method must return 0x1F like this: hence removing all the code from If (ECOK ())

Device (BAT1)
        {
            Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)  // _STA: Status
            {
               Return (0x1F)
              /*If (ECOK ())
                {
                    If (^^EC0.BOL0)
                    {
                        Return (0x1F)
                    }
                    Else
                    {
                        Return (0x0F)
                    }
                }
                Else
                {
                    Return (0x1F)
                }*/             
            }
        }

3. Likewise the patch for changing GFX0 to IGPU should be: ?

I can't help but to note that in clover boot loader under DSDT patch ACPI the reciprocal seems to be the case. See picture below. If you use clover configurator and set disabled flag to true it would not be selected at runtime when you load the boot loader.

So I'm not sure which to use ?

it is also best to just perform renames in config.plist rather than renames in dsdt and ssdt's

@Feartech & @FreeJHack,

Thx for your help. It did point me into the right direction.

Patching STA to XSTA to be disabled like above was only half of the solution. In the end I still needed to apply:
ACPI Patch like Pilgrim suggested here: ACPI Patch on post #19.

If I don't use ACPI Patch I get this ACPIBatteryManager warning (hang at boot, slow and non-responsive) :

Now, finally the battery status is showing up.

Appreciate your efforts !

@P1LGRIM and @Feartech,

Thx so much for your help !.

Seeing there is very little information on tonymacx86 about this patch, I would like to understand the purpose or intent of the ACPI patch. This patch (see here ACPI Patch) allowed me to boot and now my battery status is working. Without this patch I was not able to boot.

Hi! Can you help me with my laptop please? I tried a lot of times but I didn't manage to do it
Thanks!

I'm not very good at this coding stuff (None of this wording in this article I know) lucky, I found a .txt file for my laptop. Do I just open it in MaciASL? Then do I save it as a patch file. I'm not sure how all this works. I am not a tech savvy person. Any help would be great.
