LCD Backlight not working after screensaver

Like the title says: my E1705 LCD will not turn on after it has been on screensaver. The computer is still on, as my wireless and Bluetooth lights are on, and the power indicator light is on.

The LCD is off, as in it is completely black, not the lighted black that you get with the screen saver. To get my LCD back on, i have to restart. Anyone have any idea whats the problem here? I am going to try and install different drivers and see if that is the issue.

Yes, I have the LCD set to turn off after 20 minutes. Should this be set to "Never"??

Yes, I have the LCD set to turn off after 20 minutes. But, my screen saver comes on at 5 minutes, and after that the LCD will not turn back on.
