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

[QUOTE="thomas998, post: 963518, member: 111388"] I can only say what the tech at the apple store said when I took my computer in. He stated that the dark spots on the LCD screen were caused from having the computer running with the lid closed... according to him he had seen some computers come into the store where you could see the outline of the keys on the keyboard burned into the comptuer... having see the dark spots on my laptop I don't think these are rumors. It may also have to do with which video card your laptop is using too, whether it runs on the integrated or non-integrated could change the amount of heat. But if you believe its a rumor then feel free to run your computer with the lid closed all you want... I've seen that the results are and I don't want to lose my laptop for another week while the LCD is replaced. [/QUOTE]
