Hi

I decompiled my dsdt on my Acer Laptop and got 4 Errors:

dsdt.dsl   918:                         If (UPBI ())
Error    1029 - Called method returns no value ^
dsdt.dsl   923:                         If (UPBS ())
Error    1029 - Called method returns no value ^
dsdt.dsl  2513:                     Field (ERAM, AnyAcc, Lock, Preserve)
Error    1048 -                               ^ Host Operation Region
requires ByteAcc access
dsdt.dsl  2611:                             Store (Arg2, DAT3)
Error    1014 -    Method argument is not initialized ^  (Arg2)
dsdt.dsl  2611:                             Store (Arg2, DAT3)
Remark   3041 -   Not a parameter, used as local only ^  (Arg2)

I fixed the third one by changing "AnyAcc" to "ByteAcc", and the fourth
one by changing Store (Arg2, DAT3) to Store (2, DAT3). (is this right?)

I don't know what to do with the first two errors, cause I don't which
return values to give back in this functions.

Can you help me?
(and I hope this is the right address for my concern)

greetings!

Correct.

Not correct.  I will extend the number of arguments passed to the method
instead.  But this method is never called, so I wont mind a lot.
that is:

I don't know.  But this method (CHBP()) where those errors happens
is never called, so I won't mind a lot.  And if really I would
need to overwritte this dsdt, I would comment this method.
