timebot Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hey Guys, Many people in small ways have mentioned this across multiple threads, regarding the Gigabyte motherboard's inability to charge USB devices (phones, iPad, etc.). Gigabyte has enabled this for PC's through their updater: http://www.giga-byte.ca/FileList/WebPage/m...-off-charge.htm But it's only for Windows. Argh! Does anyone know of a kext that could help us enable this option. It's very frustrating that after I built this rig, that most of the touted "advanced features" of the board aren't even in our grasp. Any help or advice would be appreciated! Cheers, R.

Cheers, tb dl, turns out carti hasn't built a BIOS for my particular board yet (Gigabyte X58A-UD3R). In any case, thanks for the info! tb Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/226036-gigabyte-on-off-charge-kext-or-enabler-for-hackintosh/#findComment-1516539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
