Lenovo IdeaPad screen stays black but the laptop seems on

Power light on, fans spin, caps lock key lights up, but the display shows nothing. Not even the Lenovo logo. Shining a torch on it I can't see anything faint either.

Try Windows + Ctrl + Shift + B first. That restarts the graphics driver and the screen sometimes comes straight back. No luck? Unplug the charger and hold the power button for a good 30 seconds so it fully powers off, then start it again. Plug in an external monitor or TV too. If that shows a picture, the laptop is fine and it's the panel or the cable to it.
