Since you don't state what the dozens of things are I feel compelled to ask the
obvious: did you cycle through the <Fn><F_ Key for the external display>
settings
pressing keys at each step?
This normally puts the laptop display system into three states:
On board LCD on, external off
On board LCD off, external on
On board LCD on, external on
If you've chosen the correct F_ key your onboard LCD will turn off during one
stage of
this testing.
