Spin 5 After pressing F6 Turn Off/On Laptop Display the laptop display screen permanently stayed off

Mode: SP515-51GN-8356

Hello, after pressing F6 which turns off the laptop screen, the laptop screen didn't turn back on.

The laptop is fully functioning, including the touch screen, and connecting to a 2nd monitor works(but as of lately, not)

I believe Windows is running when turning on the laptop because it takes the normal time to turn off when shutting down.

I am unable to find the right key combination to be %100 sure that I am switching the display monitor to the 2nd monitor, so I cannot be sure that I am unable to connect to a 2nd monitor.

I cannot find a guide on disassembly to see if the connection to the screen is burnt or disconnected, and several repair shops said that it would be too risky to repair this laptop due to the touch screen.

I would be extremely grateful to any help. 🙂

The Fn-F6 should just toggle the backlight for the screen off and on and the system default to it being on, so normal a reboot gets it back on even if it's toggled off. Here's the screws needed to remove the bottom case:
