Hanging on the Apple Logo Upon Installation - Compaq CQ62

I don't know what you mean. Make sure you're using the correct tools.

Correct tools are linked from the guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-patching-laptop-dsdt-ssdts.152573/

Open up the DSDT.dsl in Maciasl, go to the "patch" button up top, and paste the patch in - and if the patch applies to my DSDT it lets me integrate it in and compile.

That's what I've been doing/my logic.

You should add the github repo as a source to MaciASL.

Read the README: https://github.com/RehabMan/Laptop-DSDT-Patch

Also, make sure you're using the tools (MaciASL/iasl) linked from the guide.

So the G6 battery patch worked for you? Can you test it out on my DSDT? Because I couldn't get it to patch

It applies fine to the DSDT.dsl you provided in post #86 (I tested it before I suggested it).

I think you're using the wrong version of MaciASL.

Yeah that's probably it - I just downloaded the first MacIasl link I saw. It applied the common patches and fixes correctly so it's strange how it couldn't apply the battery one. Could you link us to the version you're using?

As I stated previously (post #90 and #92), the correct version is linked from the ACPI patching guide...

Really. Must. Read. Carefully.

I am extremely happy to say that it worked flawlessly. Definitely add Compaq CQ62-358TU to the compatibility section of the patch.

It's strange how my version of MaciASL wouldn't let me patch. I wonder why.

Successfully managed to patch the brightness ability too using the ivy_sandy patch. Thus, completes my Hackintosh journey (for now). It's been something special - thanks for teaching me how to read guides.

Thanks again, Ezra.

Who would have thought it'd take 100 posts.

Because the version you're using has a bug (I assume it is v1.4).
