Xflash2006 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Hi, I have a laptop with a broken built-in screen. The macOS installer launches extremely slowly due to ACPI errors, and once it launches, the external screen turns off. Can anyone help me solve these problems? I attach the EFI folder and the photo of the ACPI errors during startup. Laptop: Acer Aspire 5742G CPU: Intel i3 380M GPU: Integrated + NVIDIA GT 540M External Screen: Connected via HDMI port EFI.zip Edited February 16 by Xflash2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrandale for internal graphics do not need IDs or spoofs , for NVIDIA you need DGPU spoof instead, it would be better to use a specific SSDT.

Slice Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 It's a pity I may propose that HDMI port in internally connected to Nvidia chip. You can check this in Windows, it can show. And consequently you should stay with ElCapitan to have Nvidia Fermi working. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baio77 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I remember having 1 similar PC with NVIDIA GPU, I used EL Capitan as Slice says. I also had some SSDT patches, but I can't find those patches anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cankiulascmnfye Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Looks like bad battery patching (Device path points to "BAT0" = Battery0). Disable the patched DSDT Verify that this Laptop does not have a working EC detected by macOS. If it does have a functional EC, disable SSDT-EC.aml. You can use SSDTTime to figure this out Add ECEnabler.kext to get the battery status working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cankiulascmnfye Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 SSDTTime doesn't "dump" SSDTs, it generates them based on analyzing the unpatched DSDT. Which macOS are you trying to install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slice Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Yes, impossible. AFAIK it is Fermi which works good in ElCapitan and hardly in Sierra but not up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try El Capitan. The problem is that from Windows I can't get the ACPI path of the GPU for the spoof. I have to try from a live of Ubuntu.
