SSDT Help - Battery Issue

[poopoo88]

Hi, 

 

I have a Dell 7737, i7 I've installed Majjove on it and have it near running, I have one issue driving me crazy. 

 

When my laptop boots with the A/C adapter connected it doesn't show charging, unless I unplug the power cord and plug it back. Then it's completely fine.

 

This battery glitch only happens when I am running a DSDT +  SSDT patch to disable my Nvidia card. 

 

I have configured the DSDT and when I boot with the DSDT only, the battery is working fine. Even without the DSDT at all the battery works fine. (needless to say other things break without the DSDT) 

 

However when I boot with the DSDT + SSDT-6-NvUtlTbl to disable discrete graphics, I encounter the battery charger status showing incorrect only on boot (until I unplug/replug). The Discrete card is disabled though and everything else works fine except the battery glitch.

 

I feel I am overlooking something in the SSDT-6-NvUtlTbl file which is interfering with the battery display. Can someone help if there's something I need to patch or comment to in this SSDT? 

 

I uploaded both .dsl files into archive.zip.

You've not specified what you did in terms of changes/patches so we cannot guess...

 

This being said, I notice that you've modified the _INI method of that SSDT table from:

        Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized)  // _INI: Initialize
        {
            Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP._ADR)
            NBAK ()
        }

to:

        Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized)  // _INI: Initialize
        {
            Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP._ADR)
            _OFF ()
        }

 

Assuming you've not modified anything else, try this instead:

        Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized)  // _INI: Initialize
        {
            Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP._ADR)
            NBAK ()
            _OFF ()
        }

 

It would also help if you would post your entire set of raw tables saved in ACPI/origin folder. A copy of your saved IOReg from IORegistryExplorer would be very useful too.

        "PinConfigurations", Buffer() { },\n
    })\n
}\n
end;

I then followed the guide to I posted above to disable the discrete graphics.

 

I also have a bunch of patches on the ACPI tab in Clover. (Can't get a screen shot at the moment)

 

I will follow your advice, test with your modification. If still no luck I am going to start from scratch and try again and will get back to you.

 

Thanks,
