In a terminal window, type:
  xrandr
to determine whether it thinks that the laptop screen and the external
monitor are connected or disconnected.  If the laptop screen is connected
but blank, then it sounds like a hardware problem.

Also, some laptops have a key that you can press to rotate through whether
all the screens are active or not.  Does the Lenovo have one?
