mark7714 Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Can that confirm any? Can any help me? Works for me (I usually have mine around 1- 3 minutes). There are work arounds if you want to use apple script (or the console), but I'm sure you're looking for a working pannel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amet Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Keith, I just spent last three days trying to replace drivers(Kexts) in 10.4.6 with the ones from 10.4.1 cos in 10.4.1 i had the battery working and with no sucess, the battery meter only works after I pull the battery out and put it back in....Any ideas what can be done please...anything at all? I know that the laptop is capable of that since it was working.... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akira Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I've spent the better part of the last two days on this forum trying to find references to the Apple DVD Player playback issue, but it almost seems like no one is aware of the fact that this modified PowerManagement Bundle causes Apple's DVD Player applet to slow down to a crawl making the system nearly unresponsive even to Force Quit. Has anyone else noticed this? I've tried this on Dell's Inspiron 8600 and HP's Compaq NC6000 laptops. The symptom occurs the moment I install the modified bundle and is corrected when I restore the original bundle. On the side note, I'm also experiencing the "no battery installed" issue on the HP Compaq NC6000 laptop and yes, the battery removal trick seems to fix the recognition problem, but only for the current session. For reference the Dell is running 10.4.5 from the pre-patched 10.4.4/10.4.5 iMac Restore DVD and the HP is running 10.4.6 also from the pre-patched 10.4.4/10.4.5 iMac Restore DVD and Myzar's 10.4.6 V3 update patch.

Bruce Wang Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 yehh this works for me too to an extent on my dell inspiron 1100 with os x 10.4.5 the sleep and display sleep don't shut off the lcd screen and i don't thnk it actualy goes to sleep also the monitor won't shut off when i close the lid, any way to fix that? If you use ATI Radeon Mobility graphics chip, to shut off the LCD screen, you can try RadeonTool: http://s44.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1S4FZKO...0P0DVBYL2BE66K4 It works on my Radeon M 7500.

Has anyone else noticed this? People have commented on the DVD issue a couple of times. That specific issue (slowing down) is different than what (I think) most of us have (black screen with audio). The only solution so far is to use VLC or Mplayer, which isn't really a solution, but better than not having the battery monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJJJJ Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I've found (may be) a minor bug. It does'nt work "Put Incon on the taskbar..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sazpaimon Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Good news and bad news. This hack got my battery indicator to get the percentage (though it still continues to not be able to calculate its life), bad news is, my laptop still suffers from locking up when it is plugged in or unplugged, though it seems to be more intermittent now (it seems to work properly when removing or adding the power when putting the computer to sleep first).

codeattack Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Unless there is something else I need to do other than getting this PowerManagement bundle into the SystemConfiguration directory and rebooting, I haven't been able to get this to work. I see no battery icon and my laptop behaves in whatever mode it booted in i.e. if the AC power was plugged in on boot it will operate at full speed and if it is not plugged in it will operate at much lower speed. I have a Dell 710M running an Intel Pentium-M 755. Any ideas why this is not working? Thanks, codeattack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chazman Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Great job! It works flawlessly with my Compaq V2000. My parents just bought a mac, and they're taking classes at the apple store on the weekends. My dad told the guy about me being able to run osx on my intel laptop without any hitches. The appleman, of course, denied that it was possible. Looks like im going in with my dad on the next day I have off to do a little showing off.

vince29 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 The bundle works perfectly on my old gericom/complal/toshiba/... ACL10, but does not on my Acer 1692 wlmi. ther, it only shows an empty battery icon and keeps calculating. It does not detect wether the power cord is plugged or not. Oh, and I've lost the processor speed setting from the control panel I had in 10.4.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
