My P50 prompted me to update the BIOS yesterday. I've done this several times since I got the machine, so didn't really think much of it. 

 

It went through the motions and booted into the SCT Flash utility. It got about a little way through the update ]]> Sun, 06 Sep 2020 10:07:08 +0000 https://forums.lenovo.com/topic/findpost/1306/5037358/5134760 ian332isport <![CDATA[ P50 Bricked by BIOS update ]]> https://forums.lenovo.com/topic/findpost/1306/5037358/5311541 Wed, 21 Apr 2021 02:58:46 +0000 https://forums.lenovo.com/topic/findpost/1306/5037358/5311541 Sam9812 <![CDATA[ Re:P50 Bricked by BIOS update ]]> https://forums.lenovo.com/topic/findpost/1306/5037358/5317149 Hi Sam,

 

I did manage to get it working - mostly. My problem was 100% due to a failed BIOS update. I personally never had any problems switching between hybrid and discrete. Mine was set to hybrid though.
