Hello,

I'm having a problem where patching my system DSDT with Rehabman's laptop DSDT battery patch: battery_lenovo_E440.txt.

The patch is said to support Lenovo E531 laptops. However, patching and compiling my DSDT using this battery patch results in 8 of the same errors:

"Object does not exist (\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.HWAK)".

I'm stuck and I can't figure out why this is happening. (Unfortunately, I'm not a programmer). I would really appreciate some help with getting my battery to work. I've uploaded a copy of my system DSDT and Rehabman's battery patch is found here:

Thank you in advance!

Fixed myself. Patching with Rehabman's version MaciASL does the job. Weirdly Opencore suggest against this.

Finally got my Lenovo-P53 installed so just doing some post install stuff. Having a time with finding info on patching my batter indicator. Not sure what battery_txtfile would even come close to being compatible. Any ideas?

I'm running into a problem with the B1B2 method patch.

When I do this patch:

into method label B1B2 remove_entry;
into definitionblock code_regex . insert
begin
Method (B1B2, 2, NotSerialized) { Return(Or(Arg0, ShiftLeft(Arg1, 8))) }\n
end;

The method goes into Scope (\_SB.PCI0.LPCB). This means that when I try to go forward with patching 16-bit HWAC, I cant use B1B2 where HWAC is referenced outside of this scope (the problem areas are in scope _GPE and method OWAK).

I tried to add B1B2 to these places too with

into scope label code_regex . insert
begin
Method (B1B2, 2, NotSerialized) { Return(Or(Arg0, ShiftLeft(Arg1, 8))) }\n
end;

and

into method label OWAK code_regex . insert
begin
Method (B1B2, 2, NotSerialized) { Return(Or(Arg0, ShiftLeft(Arg1, 8))) }\n
end;

but it produced a compile error Illegal Forward Reference for the method OWAK patch (is there maybe a way to prepend patches?).

I figured out a workaround by manually editing the file and just pasting the B1B2 method at the end of the file (I saw this is where it was on successfully patched DSDTs). But would appreciate any insight into why the patching isn't working for me as expected.

Thanks!

Say when I have something like:

Scope (_SB.PCI0.LPCB)
{
    Device (EC0)
    {
        Field (SMBX, ByteAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
        {
            Offset (0x04), 
            DAT0,   8, 
            DAT1,   8
         }
    }
}

Scope (_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0)
{
   	Method (ECSB, 7, NotSerialized)
    {
		Local1 [One] = DAT0 /* \_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.EC0_.DAT0 */
        Local1 [0x02] = DAT1 /* \_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.EC0_.DAT1 */
	}
}

then how to I access that friggin DAT0 or DAT1 field?

Is it

External (_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.DAT0)

or

External (_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.SMBX.DAT0)

That cant be right? Where is the SMBX?

Did you ever find a good one to use for it? I'm just got my hackintosh setup on my P53 and most things are working except the battery now, I tried using the Lenovo X230i one as it mentions support for the P50 and P51 at the top of the file, but I had no luck as this sort of patching seems out of my skill range.

Hello all, need some help with my hackintosh battery. I have pretty much everything working on Big Sur except the battery which I am getting the notification for but it is not accurate nor do I get a symbol for charging either. I have put all my files on github including my DSDT dump. Any help would be great because I cannot use the laptop much without the power cable.

Is it

External (_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.DAT0)

or

External (_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.SMBX.DAT0)

You access it like this:

External (_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.DAT0, FieldUnitObj)
