Thank you for maintaining this.
I have a similar laptop E7470 model. I read your SSDT files and you have patches for Fn keys, Sleep and LID. Both the laptops have the same keyoard layouts. I tried using your SSDTs but when activating Fn+Insert hotkey, it goes to sleep but when I wake up, it takes so much time with blackscreen and the Brightness keys stop working. I need to reboot to fix it.
Are you facing similar issues ?
Thank you for your issues, I don't pay attention to this before. When I tried Fn+Insert hotkey today, it really doesn't work. I will try to fix it. If fixed, I will update it.

I updated the EFI just now with this problem solved. Here is the description:
This commit fixes the key 'fn + insert' to sleep. When you active fn + insert, the computer will get into sleep but wake after a while and then it continue to sleep when the screen going black. If you can not wake the laptop by activating any key, you can try to active 'fn + insert' key again, it always work.
I test it on my macOS 12 beta 5(21A5304g), it works well so far. Don't forget to run this command in the kernel to set proper sleep mode:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3
I hope it can be helpful for you.
Yes, the hotkeys issue has been resolved.
Is hibernate working for you ? I have the Hibernatefixup kext.
This is my pmset -g

Yes, I find the sleep is still working bad. I am working on it these days. The first things I fix is the Gpu, and now I make it. It support HEVC decoding now.
Now it can successfully sleep but not in actually sleep, when the screen off, it is still working and consume power. I am trying to solve that. When I test it successfully, I will update the EFI.
How did you added support for HEVC decoding ? I just realized that it's broken for mine too.
You can try to delete the key "AAPL,slot-name" in your DeciceProperies of Graphic card like this in your config:
That doesn't fix it.
I can't remember what I did, because I am working on the sleep problems with the EFI changing rapidly. So, I upload the present EFI to you here. It works for me about the HEVC decoding, you can have a try.
Okay, I fixed it by removing the whole PCI (0x0, 0x02) slot as Whatevergreen.kext automatically injects all the properties.
I have a solution on sleep issue, but it conflicts with the key "fn + insert" and LID sleep. According to tests these days, I find the problem is S3 sleep mode. Therefore, I use SSDT to ban it, but it comes that the key "fn + insert" and LID sleep can not work. Then I use another way to sleep called AOAC. I will upload EFI later.
So, did you fixed the deepidle ?
AFAIK, your System needs to support DeepIdle or AOAC(Always on Always connected) specification for it to work.
It is not necessary for you to have DeepIdle or AOAC support. For me, I edit the SSDT-PCI0.LPCB-Wake-AOAC.dsl and it works for me. It supports key "Fn + insert" to sleep, but Lid device do not support sleep, I am working on it. I want to edit the SSDTs to support Lid device with Deepldle.
For your doubt, the method also suit the Laptop without AOAC and I have tested it successfully.
When in Fn+Insert sleep, breathing light is working for you ?
No, actually when you sleep by click the sleep button in the apple menu(apple logo), breathing light does not work as well. It is normal for that. Here is the reason:
For me, without the SSDT-DeepIdle, breathing light works. But Sleep gets broken with SSDT-DeepIdle, so can't test Breathing light.
If you sleep worked well before, you can use your config before. For me, previous config will cause black screen after sleep and I had to reboot. But when I use SSDT-Deepldle, sleep well except breathing light. If you want to use this method, you may also add these SSDTs:
- SSDT-NameS3-disable
- SSDT-DeepIdle
- SSDT-PCI0.LPCB-Wake-AOAC
and rename _S3 to XS3 by add patch:
Find: 5F53335F Replace:5853335F Comment:_S3 to XS3
This method can only wake up by Power button.
I used the same SSDTs and ACPI renames but Sleep is broken. I wonder how much difference between DeepIdle and normal S3 sleep.
I will do a test about the consumption of power in DeepIdle sleep. But for S3 sleep, my laptop can't work on it. So I can't get the data from S3 sleep.
Can you update the repo with what changes did you make to make SleepIdle work in the SSDT. I'll try once more with your insights.
Will the new EFI works in your laptop? Here is my test result with DeepIdle:
My battery health is about 73% and my laptop consumes about 4% power per hour in DeepIdle sleep.
No, the latest EFI doesn't work for me. Something is wrong in your config, the power drain is too much. Mine just consumes 2-3% in 8 hrs S3 sleep. Btw, what is that app you are using to show battery percentage ?
Ok, thank for your feedback, I may desperate into 2 branches for S3 sleep mode and DeepIdle mode. The app is called Sensei. If you want this app, you can leave your email so that I can send it to you.
Either your Battery is at fault or you need to investigate in what is consuming so much power. You can use Power metrics powermetrics is a Mac-only command-line utility that provides many high-quality power-related measurements. It is most useful for getting CPU, GPU and wakeup measurements in a precise and easily scriptable fashion.
Ok, I will have a try, thank you.
Unbelievably, I just fix up S3 sleep mode by adding SSDT-GPRW and patch GPRW to XPRW. I will test S3 sleep later and update EFI.
My S3 sleep also works well. It consumes about 3% power in 8 hours.
Thanks for your suggestions and feedback.
Could you please search on your OEM DSDT the following.
- Open MaciASL
- Click on "File > New From ACPI" and select
FACP.aml - Search for
Low Power S0 Idle. Tell me if it is =1or0
It is0.
