[ref]nikhilrathore_1999[/ref], You are expected to find the EC method. This is something only you can provide. I advise you to read and follow the step by step guide again.

My Laptop is HP and the hotkeys are F2 and F3. I did everything but my F2 and F3 keys have same code "_Q13". How can I fix this?

in ur case i think use HKNO

check it

into method label _Q13 replace_content
begin
Store(HKNO, Local0)\n
If (LEqual(Local0,7))\n
{\n
// Brightness Down\n
   Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x0405)\n
}\n
If (LEqual(Local0,8))\n
{\n
// Brightness Up\n
   Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x0406)\n
}\n
If (LEqual(Local0,4))\n
{\n
// Mirror toggle\n
   Notify(\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K, 0x046e)\n
}\n
end

Thank you for helping me.

Well, i have almost everything working:

- hdmi audio, video, volume up/down keys, wifi/wired network, etc.....

only two items i'm not being able to make work or correct:

- screen flicker, when back from sleep or any unknown condition, where the only solution is a reboot

 and

- brightness keys.

 

ACPI debug not working.

 

Anyone with a good idea?
