I got this old HP DV7 from my sister, it's like new because she almost never used it. I bought an SSD and thought about installing Windows or Linux to use for light tasks only. It worked great and so I decided to try installing OSX. After a lot of reading and work I was able to install Catalina, Big Sur and Monterey with almost everything working. I've set up proper USB mapping, cpu and gpu power management are working, wifi/bluetooth, almost perfect.

 

I would like to continue using it but I need help with the wake from sleep and restart problem. After putting my system to sleep, attempts to wake it will result in a reboot. And when I put it to restart, the process starts, the screen goes off and it stays on without restarting. I haven't been able to figure out what's causing this issue.

 

I'm unsure what to do next. Any ideas or similar experiences?

I've attached other files to help. Thank you.

I know, it's an old laptop but it's not my main laptop, I have another one. It is working very well with OSX, not for heavy tasks of course. I just want to try using it as an option for a while longer.

 

I believe I did a good job editing the DSDT and I also think the config.plist is correct. I think sleep is working because when he turns off the power led is blinking indicating that he is in sleep state. I can put it to sleep by selecting it from the Apple menu and closing the lid. It also goes to sleep when not in use. So I can get out of sleep by pressing the power button or opening the lid. But then it just restarts. I'm not sure but maybe it's some problem with memory space allocation.

 

And sorry my english, I'm from Brazil ;)
