    After letting my P650HP6-G download using utorrent overnight, I just woke up to check on the progress. I noticed it finished and wanted to change the GPU mode via CCC to MSHybrid(from discrete). This requires a restart, wich it did. That is when the problem started.

    After restarting, the screen wouldn't turn on. Not for the 'obsidian' splash screen (I bought it from Obsidian-PC), or anything else. I don't think it matters, but when restarting I closed the lid, and after 1 or 2 minutes or so I re-opened it.
    I also can't even get into the bios because of windows 10 fast boot, but that doesn't matter since I can't see anything.

    I have absolutely no idea what could possibly be the issue.

    *UPDATE* After restarting a couple of times the backlighting worked and the screen turned on. I really don't understand what happened. Even though it works now, I'd still like to know what caused it or whether there are other people that experienced this.

    Sounds like the mux got improperly set. One off glitch by the looks of things.
