Need help fixing blank screen

Hello. A while back, I had a problem where the screen on my Blade 15 (2021, advanced model, RZ09-0409) wouldn’t turn on when I turned the computer on. I eventually figured out that an external screen connected to the HDMI port would work, so I assumed there was some problem with my integrated graphics and used razer synapse to set the system to only use the discrete card, which fixed the problem.

 

I recently had the same problem again, so I figured that there was some problem that was making the computer boot up to a screen that didn’t turn on the discrete card so I hooked it back up to a TV but got nothing. After restarting the computer a few times with the power button and mashing various keyboard buttons to try and wake it up (I think it was when I hit delete) I somehow managed to get the BIOS menu to come up on the TV. Mistakenly, I set the NVIDIA optimus setting back to using both graphics processors before exiting and now I can’t get anything to come up on either the laptop screen or the TV. I’m not sure what to do now, other than trying to blindly pull up and navigate the BIOS menu to turn nvidia optimus back to discrete only without being able to see what I’m doing. I’m hoping someone may have a better idea than that because I have no idea how to get back to the bios screen and don’t know where the optimus setting is even if I could get there. Can anyone help?
