Need help with ASUS GL502VMK laptop post install

JahStories · April 17, 2018

I've got this laptop, fully working minus keyboard brightness, that's working but its not dimmable with shortcut Keys...

there is actually no way to use the latest voodooi2c when the i2c device is in ETPD and the CPU is a Kaby, tried with the help of alex.daud, driver is loading, pinning is ok, but still no movement from the trackpad...

Alex.daud said it's a problem about the Asus dsdt implementation...

Latest version working is 1.0.4

P.s.

I was trying to debug the Keys to remap them, but seems that the keyboard, that's usb, cannot be seen by acpidebug...

ive checked and 0x47 is right, i cant think why its not working.

sorry

M3G4DR01D · April 17, 2018

Guess I'll stick to v1.0 it worked for me but without gestures, or sys pref pane detection

@onejay09 How about the keyboard backlight does it work for you?

And could you help me with the extra brightness levels and the slider, thanks.

Interestingly tho, my touchpad works at the clover boot menu with VoodooPS2 Touchpad ?!?!

This patch goes in the DSDT right? Or do I need a separate SSDT for it?

And could you please tell me how you got iMessage working? I keep getting a sign in error!

JahStories · April 18, 2018

Dsdt patch, for iMessage it's mostly luck, about iCloud you need to set a correct SMbios.

Oh I already have iCloud working it's iMessage and Siri and FaceTime that are grinding my gears, they are all caused by the same issue I believe (apple detecting that my hack isn't genuine apple hardware -_-)

Hello @JahStories Thanks to your patch my keyboard backlight now works!! but, I have no control over it (and I'm not sure which level Is it since I have 3 but its somewhat dim so I'd say level 2), is there anyway to control it using FN+F3 and FN+F4 keys? thanks!

you dont understand, ive already given them to you. the _DSM method for pci0.peg0.pegp i added for you in ssdt-8.aml

Hey onejay09 do you recommend any online websites that are a good source for learning more about the daft ssdt patching prices? as how much I appreciate you helping him out, one part of me would love to know what exactly was done in the steps so I could reproduce for my own and future hacks :p

please let me know

much appreciated

Alex.daud said it's a problem about the Asus dsdt implementation...

Latest version working is 1.0.4

P.s.

I was trying to debug the Keys to remap them, but seems that the keyboard, that's usb, cannot be seen by acpidebug...

Hi, I have an Asus GL502VM High sierra (i7 6700hq + gtx 1060 6gb vram), so it is almos the same laptop as you have. I have several problems (no fan control, no screen brightness control, screen dims when I plug or unplug the laptop...). Could you please send me your EFI folder so I can copy it and have my laptop working better? In case you don't want to do that I attach my ioreg. I can also send my full efi folder so you can see the acpi patched, kext and config.plist i am using in case you want to see it.

Please would really appreciate your answer, I would need this laptop working for university.

I have several problems (no fan control, no screen brightness control, screen dims when I plug or unplug the laptop...). Could you please send me your EFI folder so I can copy it and have my laptop working better? In case you don't want to do that I attach my ioreg. I can also send my full efi folder so you can see the acpi patched, kext and config.plist i am using in case you want to see it.

Please would really appreciate your answer, I would need this laptop working for university.

MacBook Jon Andoni ioreg.ioreg

I worked so much on this machine, everything works, even keyboard backlight shortcuts and trackpad multitouch

here it is....

Have fun and let me know (removed smbios part from config)
