[QUOTE="flonejek, post: 71082"] well the simple way is to shield the reed switch (just above the mic i think) with a piece of quad folded alfoil stuck to the foam insert they give you, so the laptop cant tell when its shut. As for the heat issue i think flippinng the laptop should work ok as most of the hot parts are on the bottom, and flipping it over will let convection do its job easier. I did it a while ago when I used to leave it on downloading updates, tho now i just crank down the brightness and leave the screen 3/4 shut. [/QUOTE]
