# # Fixing Embedded Controllers: Prebuilt

By far the easiest way to fix your Embedded Controller is just downloading one of the files below:

Desktop:

- SSDT-EC-USBX-DESKTOP
  (opens new window)
  - For Skylake desktops and newer and AMD CPU based systems
- SSDT-EC-DESKTOP
  (opens new window)
  - For Broadwell desktops and older

Laptops:

- SSDT-EC-USBX-LAPTOP.aml
  (opens new window)
  - For Skylake laptops and newer
- SSDT-EC-LAPTOP.aml
  (opens new window)
  - For Broadwell laptops and older

The main things to note with this method:

- Quite Bloated
  - There's ACPI naming for every type, this means there's added delays in boot times
- Doesn't really teach you anything
  - For most, this doesn't matter. But to some knowing what makes your hackintosh tick is part of the journey
