Will Cooke, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update to your BIOS is available (1.39). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report. As well, you don't have to create a new
bug report.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see

.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  When undocking the laptop panel brightness goes to minimum and cannot
  be increased

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My X220 sits on a docking station connected to (among other things) an
  external DisplayPort monitor.  I have it set up so that I use both
  monitors.

  When I undock the laptop, and so remove the external display, the
  laptop panel brightness goes to minimum and cannot be made brighter
  either via the function keys or the system settings slider.
