What happens that results in the blackscreen failure?
After a fresh Installation of Windows 8.1 with an Image from MSDN,
the Internal Display works fine until Windows 8.1 installs Graphics driver via Dynamic Update,
which is v 8.15.10.2900.
The Internal Display switches to Black, while the Lights of the Panel are still on.
The Laptop does not freeze and is usable by connecting a second Screen via VGA.
Even after Connection and switching Displaying Modes within the "working" Intel Graphics Control Panel
and using Windows + P Keys, the Internal Display doesn't show anything.
The Screen turns "off" while switching between Modes like Clone and Extend
(Panel Lighting turns off and on visibly) but the Screen will remain blank.
Using the Hardware ID of the iGPU on Microsoft Update Catalog,
there is an earlier Version of the Driver: 8.15.10.2858.
Unfortunately it doesnt change anything after a fresh reinstall and
usage of this particular Version, by prohibiting Windows 8 to install the newest Version.
