HP 15s Trackpad not working

To address the issue with your HP 15s trackpad not working on your Hackintosh running macOS Ventura, follow these steps:

  1. Check EFI Configuration:

    • Ensure that your EFI configuration is correctly set up for macOS Ventura.
    • Verify that the necessary kexts (kernel extensions) for your trackpad are included in the EFI folder.
  2. Install Compatible Kexts:

    • Identify the specific kexts required for your ELAN trackpad model.
    • Download the compatible kexts from reliable sources.
    • Place the kexts in the appropriate location within your EFI folder (/EFI/CLOVER/kexts).
  3. Update VoodooPS2Controller:

    • Use the VoodooPS2Controller kext for ELAN trackpad support.
    • Ensure that you are using the latest version of VoodooPS2Controller.
    • Replace any outdated or incompatible versions with the updated one.
  4. Check ACPI Configuration:

    • Verify that ACPI configurations related to the trackpad are correctly set up in your ACPI folder.
    • Check if SSDT patches or custom SSDTs are required for proper trackpad functionality.
  5. Enable Trackpad in BIOS/UEFI:

    • Access your laptop's BIOS/UEFI settings.
    • Ensure that the trackpad is enabled in the BIOS/UEFI settings.
    • Some Hackintosh laptops may require specific BIOS/UEFI settings to enable trackpad functionality.
  6. Rebuild Prelinked Kernel:

    • After making any changes to your EFI configuration or installing kexts, rebuild the prelinked kernel cache.
    • Use a tool like Hackintool or run the Terminal command sudo kextcache -i / to rebuild the cache.
  7. Reboot:

    • After performing the above steps, reboot your Hackintosh and check if the trackpad starts working.
    • Test different gestures and functionalities to ensure that the trackpad is fully functional.

If the trackpad still does not work after following these steps, consider seeking assistance from the Hackintosh community forums or Discord channels. Other users may have encountered similar issues and can provide additional guidance or solutions tailored to your specific hardware configuration.

So, I've tried a lot of times to fix my trackpad on Hackintosh (macOS Ventura) but it never works. I've tried several kexts, but neither of them worked...
