Lid closed switch for X230 tablet

[zogthegreat]

Hi everyone!

I have a X230 tablet, (4299-FC5). I have rebuilt it several times do to damage and it seems that in one of the rebuilds, I forgot a part, because when I close the lid, the laptop stays on and doesn't go into sleep mode. This happens in both Windows and Linux, so I don't think that it's a software problem.

Does anyone have a part number or any details for the lid closed switch? I assume that it's something magnetic, but I can't find any information.

Thanks!

Anyone?

IIRC the lid closed switch is a Hall effect sensor, which is sensitive to magnets. The magnet may have fallen off during one of your rebuilds, or the sensor may have been damaged.

X220 is very similar, look here: viewtopic.php?f=43&t=117531
