I've tried unninstaling though the device manager and now it's gone even from hidden devices. Opened the laptop and tried reseating the gpu, still no sign of life.

Check if you have a bios update, also check in your bios if you can force the dgpu on

Have already updated BIOS. My laptop is a MSI GT 70. Will go through the BIOS options and look for anything gpu related.

EDIT: No related options in BIOS. Took some pictures, if it'll help (http://imgur.com/a/EwOiw)

I guess you have an Optimus laptop? Intel + nVidia.

I saw other user with similar issue as you. Most said his started with windows 10, and after a few restart / shut down, the card magically reappeared.
