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

[QUOTE="thomas998, post: 963647, member: 111388"] I understood him quite well. I also understand the difference between dirt/grease on a screen and damaged LCDs. It is equally possible that YOU are simply uninformed as to the problem. Reality is LCD screens can be damaged by heat. You will find people that found out the hard way that putting a LCD TV above the fireplace was a dumb idea when it was damaged by the heat. In general LCDs safe storage temps vary by design with a standard unit capable of -20 to 70 C... a wide range LCD capable of -40 to 100 C.... Now I have no idea what type Apple puts inside there laptops, and doubt you do either... I do know that heat goes up and that when I opened my macbook pro from being used with the lid down that the screen was hot (regardless of whether the heat is intended to vent through the back). Those are the realities. If you are dead certain that there are no dangers in running one closed, then you have your opinion. I am dead certain that it is not safe and have see with my own eye the effect. So people can believe you, who claim its safe because you've never seen the problem, or they can believe me who claims its not safe because I've seen the problem.... If you want to play it safe I think we know who to believe now don't we. [/QUOTE]
