That laptop does not seem to be an Optimus one, am I correct?

The UUID is the "legacy" nvidia one, and the calls in bbswitch
*should*work, but it doesn't because
the handle is wrongly detected.

The 2nd argument, 0x102 below seems to be ignored, the 0,0,0 in the fourth
argument is redundant. Both values are kept to match the other calls.

ON (note: 1 line, LP may wordwrap it):
\_SB.PCI0.GFX0._DSM
{0xA0,0xA0,0x95,0x9D,0x60,0x00,0x48,0x4D,0xB3,0x4D,0x7E,0x5F,0xEA,0x12,0x9F,0xD4}
0x102 3 {1,0,0,0}

OFF (note: 1 line, LP may wordwrap it):
\_SB.PCI0.GFX0._DSM
{0xA0,0xA0,0x95,0x9D,0x60,0x00,0x48,0x4D,0xB3,0x4D,0x7E,0x5F,0xEA,0x12,0x9F,0xD4}
0x102 3 {2,0,0,0}

Please update your BIOS and create a new ACPI dump. Before and after doing
that, please
save the output of:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version
sudo dmidecode -s bios-vendor

Regards,
Lekensteyn
