Laptop screen is black when external hdmi display is NOT connected
Hi,
I just spent last few hours stuck with black screen (very slight black backlight with no observable images right after legion boot logo) on my laptop
Legion 7-16ITHg6 Laptop (Lenovo) - Type 82K6
What I did recently (may be unrelated):
- switched on conservation mode in lenovo vantage
- tried to switching off hybrid mode in lenovo vantage - didn't seem to work
- recent (few days) BIOS update
Tried, but did not help
- increase brightness
- ctrl + shift + win + B
- multiple resets holding power button
The screen worked in:
- safe mode
- when connected to another display - that was active - once only display 1 was selected for projection all went black again
Things I did before the screen started to work again (miraculously):
- reinstalled
-- Intel VGA Driver for Windows 10 (64-bit)
-- all drivers from Motherboard Devices category
- went to bios (F2 after boot) and changed
-- Graphic Device -> Dynamic Graphics
-- BIOS Backflash -> Enabled
After this I rebooted to windows and screen went back on.
Hope this may help someone to experiment.
The question is, do you have some idea what might go wrong and what might have fixed it?
