RCOO Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Whenever I click the option on the Energy tab -> Show battery status on the menu bar it automatically unselects and no battery is shown. If I replace AppleSmartBatteryManager.kext with version 1.32 I can get the battery to show in the menu bar. However it shows "No batteries available". Before I would also replace the AppleACPIPlatform kext with version 1.3.5 and that would do it. Now, using Yosmite DP3 I just get a KP and have to revert to the original AppleACPIPlatform. Any suggestions to get battery to display properly? :s Do I need a more recent patched AppleACPIPlatform? Or some sort of DSDT patch?

JahStories Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 to me it seems a developer preview bug. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/299385-cant-place-battery-status-on-menu-bar/#findComment-2038183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCOO Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Maybe... The rollback of the kext always worked nicely. Either they added dependencies to the newer versions of the kext or it's a bug.

styrian Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Hello! Because of your not telling your hardware, either in your post nor in your signature, I can only guess, that you need a correct battery patch in DSDT. aml. Try the find a your hardware matching one at Rehabmans github and don´t, if posssible, rollback systemfiles. Have fun.

RCOO Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 I applied a patch to my DSDT (Rehabman's). That solved it. No need to rollback kext's anymore Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/299385-cant-place-battery-status-on-menu-bar/#findComment-2038281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
