NootedRed gives black screen (as if display is turned off) on macOS Ventura 13.4.1

This happens on ASUS TUF Gaming A15 laptop with AMD Ryzen 5 4600H APU. How to fix?

Please attach your zipped EFI with SMBIOS removed so we can investigate, @Middleman might be interested in this.

When I am using any of the suggested SMBIOSes by NootedRed like the MacBookPro16,3 the built-in laptop display turns off and it's not detected in macOS' display settings but I can confirm that hardware acceleration works by connecting an external monitor via HDMI.

Also, it is worth noting that when I use some of the unsuggested SMBIOSes like the MacBookPro16,4 the built-in laptop display turns on but only on black screen and HDMI stops working at all.

PS: The built-in display works normally and is being detected in macOS' display settings when disabling NootedRed.

Any news? @craighazan @Middleman

You could try adding the enable-backlight-registers-fix setting to the (spoofed) Intel Gpu device properties similar to @craigahazan’s build.
It needs to be a value of 01000000 set to type Data. That might enable the laptop’s backlight to work.

It doesn't work unfortunately.

Okay try this one. It's been fully updated to the latest OC 0.9.3 added your SMBIOS details and I've made a number of adjustments including
removing some of your unneeded ACPIs. The kernel patch has also been corrected with the setting for your 8 cores (last setting was incorrect).

@Middleman Thanks but currently I can't test as my laptop gives me the stop symbol and doesn't boot except for a few random times (even when using same bios settings and efi). This happens on any efi even the ones made by me or others or the one you uploaded. So, I need to fix this problem before the nootedred one as I am not successful in booting at least once since your efi upload. BTW I appreciate you helping in any way as my work depends on it (for XCode specifically) as I am stuck from problem to problem for about a month now.

PS: I am fairly sure that R5 4600H is a 6 core cpu.

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600H is definitely a 6-Core/12-Thread CPU.
