kennydied23 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 was I post to install PowerManagement.bundle? How do I do that? Just use osx86Tools or Kext Helper. But I've installed it and doesn't seem to work.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fayze Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 hmm, thats weird. you dont actually have to use the powermanagement bundle i dont think. but i installed so long ago i dont really remember, so i could be wrong. if its not working, one thing to check is to make sure the permissions and ownership are set correctly. in a month im going to try some different installs and see how they go. maybe attempt a boot 132 and retail install.

Good luck with that, I'd like to know how you do with the boot 132 install, because I may want to do that in the future. Oh, and I got the battery to show.

fayze Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 oh thats good. any idea what made it show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennydied23 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Well after testing about a dozen different powermanagement.bundles, I found a thread (forget which, I'll probably find and post it later) that has a kext that is supposed to recognize most laptop batteries. I installed that and went to my Energy Saver preferences (it was actually the first time I'd done it that day) and it recognized I had a battery, so I unplugged and plugged back in my charger and, what do you know, the battery meter's there.

fayze Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 yeah man if you can find that bundle ill put it in the zip in the main post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennydied23 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Ok I believe I've found the thread. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...p;#entry1114896 Try the latest one. Edit: You may have to add the .kext extension to the folder. Edit #2: It may actually be this one, because after checking my history this is the last one I installed. And I installed it over the one above. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=80425 Edit #3: I apologize for all the edits. Here is a thread that should greatly help most Acer 3680 users along with this thread: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...aded&start= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fayze Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 haha yeah ive seen that thread. but i already had most of the same stuff, so i never mentioned it. it is good though. once the semesters over with ill attempt to reinstall using some different methods and post up the results. hopefully the retail install will work, as that will produce the safest to update with.

kennydied23 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Well everybody, 10.5.7 is here. I'm going to wing it and upgrade via Apple software update and see what's up. Edit: It works, not sure what is different. Also, the powermanagement.bundle needs to be replaced again. This one works: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=126888 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxxx Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 SUCCESS HERE !!!! System: Nexoc E625 Laptop Intel Core2Duo T6400 2Ghz 2*2gb DDR2-800Mhz Intel P45m / ICH9R NVidia 9600M GT 512MB iDeneb 1.5 10.5.7 -> Update to 10.5.8 Just copied the kext and the bundle to the specified folders, fixed permissions and reboot WORKS GREAT, and I dont needed to install voodoo-ps2controller, internal kexboard+touchpad still working though Now I finally got a battery-view. BUT: Only the percentage is working, it does not recognize, wheter power-supply is plugged in or not. also he says "calculating ..... remaining" but he dont get further .... But im very happy now, to see how much power is left THANKS VERY MUCH would be glad, if there were some fixes for me now i just have to wait for a working intel 4965agn driver, and i got a complete macbookpro (like c2d and 9600m gt, which is working so great) greetings from germany (so excuse for some mistakes in language ) foxxx ...

fayze Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 glad it worked for you, even though our hardware is so different. it doesnt display time remaining for me either, nor show a difference when im on battery or ac adapter. in energy saver i also cant set sleep preferences for the two separately. i think something is wrong in the kext with 10.5.8. it knows there is a battery and gets a charge for it, but isnt reporting it to the system correctly, hence the missing options in energy saver prefpane and the no time estimate. guess we'll just have to wait on superhai or someone to make a better kext.

What happened with the guide on the front page? It seems like you updated the Acer 3680.rar, but didnt update the guide to go with it. There is no Boot132 ISO in the new rar file. I used to be great at these laptops, but I've been out of the scene for so long I cant remember how to install. Everytime I go to install IOPCIFamily.kext to get my ethernet working, it kernel panics on reboot. How lame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fayze Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 i just dl'd both the guide and the rar and they look correct. the guide is for retail 10.5, and the iso is in the rar. the slimbuild.iso in the references folder is the Boot132 iso. its a custom made for this model of Acer. when you run the script thats what it names the iso file.
