Tq! gonna try look for it. just a quick question. if we upgrade our cpu, do we need to edit the dsdt?

[flip360]

Hmmm, maybe so, i have to check on that one but i dont think its gonna make much problems.
Did you upgrade it and if not what are your ideas about it?

Cheers

[hafiz689]

No not yet. still doing research on it. planning to upgrade to t990 if i'm not mistaken and also another choice is may be the quad core. but i'm not sure it going to work or not but i just read one of the above post the he use a quad core. just wondering what model.

did you try the Supplemental Update 1.0? is it safe to update?

[flip360]

OK.
First page updated with link to the modified DSDT along with Battery kext that goes in Extra\Extensions

Have fun

Hello flip360. I have a notebook AsusK70IO which have similar hardware to AsusK50IN. Now I'm having problems upgrading to 10.7.2 and 10.8. Currently my graphic card (NvidiaGT120M) works perfectly under 10.7 (maximum 10.7.1). When I upgrade it to 10.7.2 or higher (10.8 as well), the system fails to find output port for my graphic card. So there's no video output signal for my display and my VGA port as well. But with screen sharing, I can still see my desktop on a remote device. Someone say it's because my DSDT. Would you please help me with it?
Besides, my audio chip (Alc662) works only before 10.6.2. I tried many kexts, but none of them works. What was worse, a newer version AppleHDA.kext would cause my graphic card unrecognized (1024x768 only, and QE/CI fails).

Thank you for your reply.

Hello flip360 and everyone on this forum
just want to inform you, I already installed Mountain lion using myHack on my Asus K4OIN (almost had the same hardware specification as K50IN). the nVidia graphic was recognised perfectly but the sound, trackpad, Network devices and battery was not work. then installed some kexts. the wifi, battery, and sound is working with the external jack only (I'm not using the dsdt.aml yet), after got the sound working I tried to run some stability test (opening many tabs with safari, opening youtube, Facebook, other forums and running iTunes etc.) anyway, the result is I got kernel panic. don't know what the cause is, but I'm guessing maybe because the amount of Ram is full or because the battery kext (last kext I installed). anyone know's the solution for this problem?

oh yeah, one last thing for flip360.. After the fresh install, I tried using the dsdt.aml for 10.8 (on the first page). when boot I got stuck at "PCI Configuration Begin", after using boot flag "npci=0x2000" I still got stuck somewhere before I can get to the Root or terminal to remove it.

sorry for the long comment, hope anyone knows how to solve my problem. thank you

Would you please tell me how you get your alc662 working under mountain lion? I tried many ways and fails. Now I can only use BlueTooth earphone for sound. Besides, my battery works only under 10.6.
Recently, I used iada64, ubuntu, dsdtEditor and iDsdt regenerated my dsdt with mcp79 audio and GT120M patch. I found dsdt really useful. You may try modify your own dsdt instead of downloading one. Dsdt is unique to every model of motherboard no matter how similar their hardware is. It means, you may download a dsdt from others whose laptop is k40in but never from someone whose laptop is k50in.
