gsw953 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 do you mean when you click on it or just in the icon itself ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztidjester Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 do you mean when you click on it or just in the icon itself ? both meaning i have the icon and if i say tell it to show me the time remaining it says (not charging) here is a picture i took it is not currently plugged in. also since it is you replying were you able to get the headphone working on this thing? other than the battery and sleep(who needs sleep) i have everything working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsw953 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Ok i see now.In your extra/extensions folder do you have either AppleACPIBatteryManager kext or VoodooBattery kext.Either one should work,I've used them both in the past.I also use the VoodooPowerMini kext. As for sound I'm using Voodoohda 261 which gives me headphones and microphone the only issue is you have to adjust the setting in the preference pane. Instead of sleep I just use InsmniaX which lets me close the lid with no ill affects I almost forgot,did wireless work out for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsw953 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 i took out the applehda installed the voodoo and had no sound. should i remove the smbios.kext that i used to get the battery working? i guess put it back in,i have mine out but i'm running snow leopard,i forgot you were on leopard,maybe have a look at some of the Acer one a150 threads its basically the same hardware just different processors, a lot of the kexts will work and have a look at these. [how to] 10.5.8 install on an Acer Aspire One D250 w/ iAtkos v7 and AppleACPIBatteryManager for Tiger and Leopard, (UPDATE: 10/25/2008) Showing battery meter on your notebook I must have just got lucky on my install,i don't remember having to many issues,sorry i'm not much help.
