+## Finding the ACPI path
+
+For this guide, we're gonna assume Windows is already on this laptop, as otherwise creating this SSDT is a bit more difficult.
+
+Now open DeviceManager, and head to the following:
+
+```text
+Device Manager -> Display Adapters -> Properties -> Details > BIOS device name
+```
+
+* Note some GPU ACPI pathing may be hiding under "BIOS device name"
+

+
+From the above example, we can see our display is hooked up to `PCI0.GFX0`
+
+## Edits to the sample SSDT
+
+Now that we have our ACPI path, lets grab our SSDT and get to work:
+
+* [SSDT-PNLF.dsl](https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen/blob/master/Manual/SSDT-PNLF.dsl)
+* [SSDT-PNLF-CFL.dsl](https://github.com/dortania/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/blob/master/extra-files/decompiled/SSDT-PNLF-CFL.dsl.zip)
+  * For Coffee Lake and newer
+
+By default, this uses `PCI0.GFX0` for the pathing. you'll want to rename accordingly. For this example, we'll assume your pathing is `PCI0.GPU0`:
+
+**Before**:
+
+```
+External (_SB_.PCI0.GFX0, DeviceObj) <- Rename this
+
+Scope (_SB.PCI0.GFX0) <- Rename this
+
+Device(_SB.PCI0.GFX0.PNLF) <- Rename this
+```
+
+![](/images/Laptops/backlight-md/ssdt-before.png)
+
+Following the example pathing we found, the SSDT should look something like this:
+
+**After**:
+
+```
+External (_SB_.PCI0.GPU0, DeviceObj) <- Renamed
+
+Scope (_SB.PCI0.GPU0) <- Renamed
+
+Device(_SB.PCI0.GPU0.PNLF) <- Renamed
+```
+
+![](/images/Laptops/backlight-md/ssdt-after.png)
+
+## Compiling the SSDT
+
+ With the SSDT done, you're now [ready to compile the SSDT!](/Manual/compile.md)
+
+## Wrapping up
+
+Once you're done making your SSDT, either head to the next page to finish the rest of the SSDTs or head here if you're ready to warp up:

+# Fixing Backlight: Prebuilt
+
+By far the easiest method, all you need to do is download the following file:
+
+* [SSDT-PNLF.aml](https://github.com/dortania/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/blob/master/extra-files/compiled/SSDT-PNLF.aml)\
+  * For most users
+* [SSDT-PNLF-CFL.aml](https://github.com/dortania/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/blob/master/extra-files/compiled/SSDT-PNLF-CFL.aml)
+  * For Coffee Lake and newer
+
+
+Main things to note with this method:
+
+* Assumes GPU pathing, works great for 99% of devices but if you're having issues controlling backlight this may be something to look at
+* 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
