Does anyone know where the switch is that triggers hibernate / standby when you close the lid on the X201? Mine is starting to act up... Close the lid and lights flicker and go off. Or stay on. And I just moved my lid / display with my computer running and it hibernated... Anyway, if anyone knows about this switch I'd love to learn about it! Thanks.

Hi!
On the X201 here
is the sensor/ switch for sleep mode or suspend mode in the lid, the corresponding magnet is stucking on the opposite side in the base of the X201.

Yes, on newer laptops it's a magnet in the lid that actuates a sensor in the base, or vice versa.
As for me, I usually just turn off all the standby/hibernate features when the lid is closed. The Fn key combos are good enough for me to get the machine to go into a sleep state...

On the X220, the magnet is in the base and switch in the lid.

For the X220 take a look at this....

And once again, the switch/ sensor for sleep mode/ suspend mode/ hibernation mode.....when closing lid....at the X201 is where i have made the red circle...in the base you will find the magnet which is activating the sensor/ the switch...
