Opening a .kext file

[komatsu]

I am implementing a suggested fix for corrupt OS X 10.9.5. I think I found a solution on the internet (see below). I can get as far as IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext but that is all. But when I try to open this file, it seems to be blank inside? Can a kext file be opened.


suggested solution which I am following is: I have got as far as bold.

1. Go to About this mac under the apple in the upper left and click on More info [done]
2. Click on system report [done]
3. make a note of what it says after Model Identifier [done]
4. go to your master drive – System -Library – Extensions – IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext [done] -Contents –[???] Plugins – ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext – Contents – Resources – find the name from step 3 and move it to a folder that you can find again if needed.
3. Restart and you’re done

In step 4, when it says "Contents", you have to first right click on the .kext file and choose "Show package contents", then the contents folder will show up.

Thanks Scooby.
