Hi,

I wanted to charge up to full 100% with AlDente. But the charger doesn't accept the "100" field or ignores it. So I set AlDente to not start on reboot, rebooted the MacBook (w/o AlDente) and put it on charging - with the result, that it also only charges to 83% (had set AlDente to 80% previously).
Now, my question is: how can I completely reset my device to original state without AlDente? Is there a hidden magic setting, that I don't see?
Bonus-question: how can I remove AlDente and all helper scripts safely?

You can try reset your SMC settings, it resets SMC's BCLM flag too.

For deinstallation you can use AppCleaner up, it worked for me.

Hi @DevNulPavel thanks for the hints. Unfortunately none of them worked for me - ok, the AppCleaner does remove the app of course, but my MacBook still only charges up to 89%.
Is there any magic switch I can set in some script to get that fixed?

Hi @crzydg

I am sorry for your inconvenience!
Resetting the SMC should definitly do the trick!
You can read some more information in this issue where I already answered some questions regarding uninstalling.

Hope that helps,
David

Btw, many thanks to @DevNulPavel for answering these issues and keeping a little weight off my shoulders! :)

Hi @DevNulPavel @davidwernhart

the trick is to read the complete instructions. Foolish to try to reset a T2 SMC when the device is sodding old.
Yes, I can confirm, resetting does clearly do the trick (and I can now safely use AlDente on a daily basis, and switch it off when traveling to customers.)

Thanks for your patience and help
stay healthy
