Hey guys,

 

laptop working brilliantly with 10.8.2!

 

 

System used:

Lenovo IdeaPad Z560 M37AQGE W7HP64 15.6" 1366 x 768 Core i5 430M, 2x 2.26 GHz 6 GB RAM 320 GB NVIDIA GeForce G 310M

WLAN Atheros AR5BXB6

 

As you can see on the provided screenshots the laptop was modified in two ways:

1. 6GB RAM instead of the 2GB that it came with. I simply bought 4 GB RAM and used the second RAM slot.

2. WLAN Atheros AR5BXB6 replacing the internal Wifi card (You need the provided IO80211Family.kext to make it work)

 

 

Working (pretty much everything)

 

- Serial ATA driver

- Internal Camera

- Bluetooth (using the Mighty Mouse)

- Wifi

- Sound (Plug switching working, Headphone/Speakers)

- Network Card (Realtek)

- Graphics Card

- Sleep

- Speedstepping (also for GPU)

- Battery Display

- USB 3.0 express card

- HDMI and VGA out

- SD card slot

- DVD burner

 

Not working

- HDMI Audio (I boot to Win7 when I want to watch a film on TV)

- Internal Microphone (can make it work by using VoodooHDA but automatic plug switching will be disabled)

 

I put all files I used together in a package that you can download here:

Hi

 

I have my Lenovo Z560 i3-350 running Mavericks now and would like some help getting the battery display to work with DSDT.

 

Has anyone edited their DSDT on a Z560 to get the battery to display - can you share your DSDT if you have please?

 

thanks for any help

Installed  OSX 10.9 to my Z560, using Clover now:

 

it mostly works, I had to patch the above DSDT to get hdmi video out working (delete added VGA code).

For Audio I have to use VoodooHDA still , patched hda kexts didnt work for me.

 

Not working:

 

- Battery Display

- Lid sleep and Lid wakeup (normal sleep works though)

 

Geekbench 2: 4000

 

has anyone got Battery working in mavericks/clover with Z560 ?

привет

последнее что придумано в DSDT для Lenovo z560

лутьше переставить систему 10.8.x или 10.9.x заново

что нового

не надо дополнительных кекстов для wi-fi atheros 9285 ( работает уже при установке системы)

улутьшина температура ноутбука

Звук  не исчезает после обновления

видео карта работает как и должна в mac os  (принудительно заменяется ID на родной для mac os)

пакетик для Clover
