Koolio Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 My Dell Inspiron 5558 will not charge when inside my Hackintosh and can this help with other issues too? Inspiron_5558.ioreg CLOVER.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted August 22, 2019 Administrators Share Posted August 22, 2019 Do you mean that the battery will not charge at all or that the battery monitoring icon is not showing that the battery is on charge (mains connected)? Not quite the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolio Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 The battery doesn't charge and it doesn't appear in my menu bar at the time even though I have the option enabled and it will not charge at all but it is connected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted August 22, 2019 Administrators Share Posted August 22, 2019 Battery not charging is normally unrelated to macOS; it must be goosed. Did you check its status in BIOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted August 22, 2019 Moderators Share Posted August 22, 2019 You need to add ACPIBatteryManager.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolio Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 can you send me a link to the download I see a lot of downloads but I don't know which to choose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted August 22, 2019 Administrators Share Posted August 22, 2019 You simply Google for "Rehabman ACPIBatteryManager" and download the latest. But that's not going to help your battery charge... Or then, it was only the battery monitoring, contrary to your previous statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolio Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 I Have 2 Dells 1 Battery exists from 2015 ones exists from 2018 I'm using the 2018 battery as the 2015 battery doesn't not appear to be recognized in bios but 2018 battery does charge on both systems but I will install the kext just to make sure and I will check bios to see about the battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolio Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 I have rebooted looked at bios and bios says that the battery life on the 2018 is perfect and when I boot into MacOS I see on the lock screen 1% but when I get to the actual os it says 0% EDIT: I am going to try the 2015 battery now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
