Administrators Hervé Posted May 7, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 7, 2019 You may also try the DSDT patch that re-assigns keys properly on the E6230. It may apply to the E6530 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps there's an another way to get USB working? When installing OP's EFI dump, everything works flawless - except for USB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanh0 Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 @Tritius I can confirm brightness controls are not working; but I have not tried any of the suggestions by Jake and Herve. Brightness controls on this model are FN + Up/Down keys. Honestly I'm fine with the brightness being full blast, I have mine hooked up to an HDMI 65" LED 4K, but yeh eventually brightness might be an issue. As a side note, it may be possible to find a brightness control somewhere in system preferences or perhaps a third party app. I always thought brightness would go through the BIOS not the OS - but this is a really really small issue compared to having so much other things working. I hope you find a solution! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanh0 Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 @Tritius My USBs started working with the updates Jake Lo gave me. I have attached a copy of my EFI of my laptop from the EFI itself of the laptop, maybe it will help. If it works out, I highly recommend throwing a donation towards Jake Lo for finalizing, they are awesome! Good luck! E6530-EFI.zip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted May 7, 2019 Moderators Share Posted May 7, 2019 Try this for brightness Replace the Config file add the *.aml to /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched Add kext to /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other reboot brightnessFix.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeScraper Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I know what PNLF is, but what do the other .aml files do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted May 8, 2019 Moderators Share Posted May 8, 2019 SSDT-XOSI.aml and SSDT-KBD.aml is to reset the brightness control to Fn+arrow instead of Fn+F3 and Fn+Insert It's based off this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
