Is there a way to stop a MacBook Pro from going to sleep when you shut the lid?

[QUOTE="technologist, post: 962387, member: 4134"] I'm not sure where the heat rumor got started, but the system is absolutely designed and tested to work with the lid closed. The vents are positioned so that they will be clear under the hinge with the lid closed; there are no vents under the keyboard. The only risk is that you could leave it running while it is in a bag or a case. That [i]would[/i] cook your system, and for that reason, InsomniaX and Sleepless are a bad idea. [b]thomas998[/b],If your LCD failed, it did so due to a defect. It was most likely not heat related, and probably would have failed even sooner if it had been on all that time. [/QUOTE]
