blackthorn87 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I was wandering if you guys could help. I've just updated my Dell E7440 - i7 4600U to Catalina from Sierra and almost everything is working perfectly. I'm just having an issue with the battery status indicator. I've tried swapping FakeSMC (and associated kexts) to VirtualSMC (and associated kexts) based on a post on this forum, but this just stopped my Hack from loading. Then I've updated CodecCommander to the latest version, and this got some functionality; this being when it's plugged in it shows the the battery charge icon with a white background and when unplugged it shows the battery charge icon with a black background. Is there a way to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackthorn87 Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hi Jake, I've attached my Clover folder to this post. Hopefully I've not done anything silly. Thanks. CLOVER.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted March 30, 2020 Administrators Share Posted March 30, 2020 Everything looks fine except 1 x aspect of your Clover config: you've opted for PluginType with regards to CPU power management so remove the dropping of SSDT CpuPm and Cpu0Ist.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted March 30, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 30, 2020 Try this, replace config and add ssd* to /E/C/A/Patched BatteryStat.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackthorn87 Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 @Hervé I'm not sure what you mean. @Jake Lo I've replaced my config.plist with the one you supplied and added the SSDT* file into the EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched folder. I've listed the locations here incase I've done it wrong. But these don't seemed to have worked. When I plugin the charger and disconnect it the status doesn't doesn't update. I've got coconutBattery installed it seems to know when the charger is plugged in and removed, but not 100% of the time. It's hit and miss. I have restarted my machine several times, and also shut it down and turned it back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted March 31, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 31, 2020 Made a couple of changes, try this config config.plist.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackthorn87 Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 @Jake Lo thank you for your help. That updated config.plist file seems to have done the trick. If you don't mind me asking what did you update to get it working. Hopefully I'll understand what your reply is. In the mean time, I'll update my Boot USB to include these updates so I have an emergency/backup boot device so this machine!! Thank you for your help, is there anyway I can get you beer or something?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 2, 2020 Moderators Share Posted April 2, 2020 Just changed the boot arg for battery delay time from abm_firstpolldelay=8000 to abm_firstpolldelay=16000 and remove the SSDT CpuPm and Cpu0Ist as Herve advised.
