Hi, IMHO tweaking the hardware for a solution which can be achieved by software would not be a good idea. The script /etc/acpi/lid.sh does 2 tasks a) to send the system to suspend when the lid is closed b) to get the system back to normal when the lid is opened. In case you want to disable the lid action then just comment the line action=/etc/acpi/lid.sh in the /etc/acpi/events/lidbtn script (comment by adding an # in the start of that line as like below) # action=/etc/acpi/lid.sh that will disable the lid switch activity all-together.

I looked at the script, this is what is in it: # /etc/acpi/events/lidbtn # Called when the user closes or opens the lid event=button[ /]lid action=/etc/acpi/lid.sh The /etc/acpi/lid.sh script is far above my skill level. Could I simply replace /etc/acpi/events/lidbtn with a blank file, thereby preventing the laptop from do anything when it runs? Alternatively, I thought about simply disconnecting the switch from the motherboard (I have already disassembled this lappy two or three times).
