Man, I was working a desktop support job when they first started to use magnets in the laptops for the closed lid mechanism. I was trying to set up a laptop and I for the life of me couldn’t get the screen to turn on.

After like an hour of trying to figure it out and a call to Dell support, I shifted the laptop and the screen turned on. Stupid laptop was so thin the magnet from the laptop under it was causing it to think it was closed.

A couple of years ago I was having a problem with the screen on my laptop randomly turning off and I was afraid that it was broken. Turns out it was my magnetic watch strap tripping the "lid closed" sensor.

I just found out the other day that the New 3DS XLs screen open sensor can be tricked by a laptop lid magnet, I was confused AF for a sec on why it was making sounds while closed lol

Chromebooks regularly do this if you stack them

Are you sure it’s magnets? Have you ruled out magic?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Nah. More probable to be matrix.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Only the magic ones.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Yeah, but what kind of magic?

Random erections are the worst

“Are you happy to see me or is that just a paperclip in your pants?”

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Yes but I can understand the confusion

What does that have to do with the picture? There's probably a speaker underneath

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

The magnet helps signal that the display is closed, triggering sleep mode.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Nope, not that close to the edge, and especially not in this laptop cuz it must have them firing down. It's the hall effect sensor of the lid.

~~OP discovers magnetism.~~

Edit: nvm it says so in the post.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I mean, it's still a very unlikely way to land. Even if it hit very close to directly upright, you'd think it'd be much more likely that it'd fall flat against the surface of the laptop. But not as ~~unlikely~~completely impossible as if there wasn't a magnet right there.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

True, don't take my comment too seriously, it was meant as a joke.
