Ahmed Osama Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Hello, Sleep isn't working on my Inspiron 5558 Broadwell. If I try to make it sleep using "Apple Menu->Sleep", only the screen goes off but it doesn't sleep, also it doesn't respond to keyboard\mouse clicks to make the screen on again, and I must force-restart it. And closing the lid makes the screen goes off, and opening it turns the screen on again, but no sleep. Another observation is that if I left the device to be idle, it restarts after the screen goes off within some minutes. Note: Inserting these fully-patched ACPI files 5558_A14.zip into my config (with Drop OEM=true) fixes the sleep issue, with same kext and config I use, so what am I trying to do if I have working files? I'm trying to patch from scratch using clover fixes\patches to replace patched static files. Currently I have good results, with almost everything working AFAIK-Test, except sleep (didn't test HDMI and SD card reader). I was working with DiffMerge and it helped me to figure some applied patches on the files, but I couldn't spot patches related to power/sleep problem. So, any suggestion to a solution for that problem? Also suggest tests to be made for some corner cases or rare situations\scenarios that may help to verify that my current patch is stable. My ACPI files. 5558_Broadwell_A14_ACPI.zip Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 24, 2019 Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2019 Wake issue usually is USB related or you need to disable the discrete graphics. You don't have the systems specs or clover folder you're using to help you further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmed Osama Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 I didn't add other files to highlight that the solution is within the the patched ACPI files. Anyways, this is my clover folder CLOVER.zip. Specs: CPU: i5-5200U, HD5500 GPU: Nvidia 920m BIOS: A14 OS: Mojave 10.14.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 26, 2019 Moderators Share Posted April 26, 2019 Give this a try, replace config file and ACPI folder 5558_hotpatches.zip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmed Osama Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 You were right, the GPU was the cause, it seems that injecting properties to disable its driver wasn't enough. I have noticed that the instant wake patch caused an issue, that is while adjusting brightness, it goes to highest (or lowest) possible level for an instant then back to the right level, resulting in a flicker effect, however, it isn't a big deal. Thanks for your time Jake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 26, 2019 Moderators Share Posted April 26, 2019 Uncheck AddPNLF in Config file and add this kext to clover kext/other AppleBacklightFixup.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmed Osama Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 Actually SSDT-GPRW didn't cause the issue, I just got confused with different configs. Anyways, FixDarwin solved the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
