Hi everyone,
when unplugging the power cord when in "dedicated graphics card only mode" my screen goes black and can only be revived by plugging in the power cord again. Can someone please confirm this issue?
Model: Razer Blade 17 Pro, 300Hz, RTX 2080 Super

Hi good people of Razer, any news on this issue?
Come on Razer, if there is a new BIOS in plans, let us know, we are eagerly waiting for it!

It is not, just checked.
Sorry, I thought you had the 2020 model (which I have). I also had the blackscreen issue after waking up when on dedicated GPU so later BIOS updates fixed it.
It is not, just checked. 
It should be 1.06 by now, check
This is still not fixed, I have the BIOS v1.04 and the latest Nvidia drivers and when on dedicated GPU and laptop goes to sleep, the screen doesnt wake up. Please fix this asap, this laptop is quite expensive to have an issue like this.

Take a photo of the bottom part of your Razer Blade Pro 17” laptop and make sure you match it with the correct link on the Razer Website. I found like two or three different versions of the 2019 Razer Blade Pro and had to match it using the underside of my laptop.
I cannot make use of the above Razer updater. It cannot identify my blade pro 17 2020. Gotta seek help from Razer support and try to restore the Nvidia driver to 452.06. GOD bless me.

Does anyone know if the black screen is now fixed on the latest firmware and BIOS update?

the black screen is no longer once i updated the BIOS from your link. I had first installed the latest NVIDIDA driver from the GeForce Experience Desktop App and lost the screen functionality but used my hdmi port to plug into my tv. I read your post and it worked thank you so much.
soo... it says that I do not have the right version? Running the Razer Blade pro 17 model

Had a reply from support yesterday (after 1 month). They have released a new BIOS version 1.04 which should solve the problem. Unfortunately it did not help me... Can someone check if the update works for him?

New Driver on 11/09 didn’t fix the black screen.

Anyone try to 11/9/2020 driver 457.30? Just came out today but I've already had to revert twice. I am quite enjoying my laptop not freezing to permanent black screen every time it goes to sleep or a program dims the screen.
What I meant was i've already had to revert twice and go through the hassle with past updates. I have not tried this new update from today.
I'm still on 452.06 - our last working driver

Is there something in the newer drivers that you need? If not, I've advise against it if everything's working well. For me, I needed to go back to 452.06 to avoid black screen issues.
Hi all, am i save to upgrade my 17"-2020 with bios 106 to Nvida 456.71 ?
thx
thx

Same here in Dedicated Graphics Mode, I've given up trying to solve it and now just use the NVidia Optimus mode, whereby both cards are enabled. I've already wasted enough time with this bl00dy laptop, can't be arsed to try and troubleshoot this one further.
Have you tried installing Nvidia's drivers, version 452.06 ?
Keeping it at that has worked for me, though every time I tried to update to a newer version starting to have issues again. Any newer version causes either black screen at hibernation, when attaching external monitor or such.

Same issue here... its been about a month of running on a separate monitor. I just downloaded the newest drive from nvidia. still black.
Bummer...yes, mine would black out when it awoke from sleep and reverting the drivers to 452.06 solved that. Not sure what else for you to try.
I doesn’t work at all. I updated the bios to 1,4 and the Nvidia driver to 452.06 and I have still the problem. Does yours have it also if u close the screen when it’s on and than opening it again. At my razer blade it gaves u a black screen and also at the first boot also
I will try it, thank u so much
