[BUG] Black screen 3 minutes after booting, CoffeeLake UHD 630

I am already using the latest from your bitbucket so I don't know why they are telling me that I am not using the right one.

The latest SSDT-PNLF is not on bitbucket.
It is on github: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config
(look in hotpatch)

Stable version is on bitbucket in the AppleBacklightFixup package.
But experimental/latest versions, such as required by this thread, exist at github hotpatch project.
When the latest version is proven stable, it will be migrated to other locations such as the AppleBacklightFixup package.

Ok thanks you very much.
Sorry for my incompetence but I need to copy SSDT-PNLF.dsl to ACPI/patched or I have to patch/build something?

You need to open the new SSDT-PNLF.dsl in MaciASL and then save it as a AML file. Then copy the newly saved AML version of SSDT-PNLF over to ACPI-Patched and replace the current one you're using

If you clone the repo, you can use 'make' to build all *.dsl to .aml in ./build.
Or open in MaciASL and save to .aml (ACPI Machine Language Binary).
Basics of MaciASL usage are here:

Done but I boot to black screen 1/2 of the time :banghead:

Welp, doesn't work for me.

I had 2 reboots in a row yesterday with working backlight, kept it on after the second reboot to keep using the laptop. Then I got the random kernel panic, system locked up, had to manually shut down. Have rebooted 5 times since then, all to a black screen.

Attached PR files.

Your kexts should be installed to /L/E, not /S/L/E.
And you should probably be using a correctly coded LiluFriend.kext.
Also, ForceKextsToLoad is only for pre-install, as per guide should be removed post-install.

You can capture ioreg in both working and black screen scenarios for comparison?
Also, LiluFriend.kext advice applies to you too...

I will try that but I think is not related to my kext installation because the problem is showing at the very early boot stage. After I click on Mojave to boot my system I can see the apple logo but after 1 second it goes away. Every time it goes away it doesen’t return for at least 5/6 minutes then I can see the login page. This happens 1/2 of the time and I think is related to the PNLF.aml
