Hi Folks
I have a Pismo ... and I can confirm that even a large paper clip sticks
very well ... it is quite a decent magnet .. about 3.5cm from the left
edge of the laptop and 0.5cm in from the front edge ... at least on mine.
Hmmm ... I wonder if this is a form of magnet therapy (RSI?) for left-hand
wrists? Being a southpaw I tend to wear watches on my right hand so
no worries about my watch being stuck to the laptop. 8-)
Harry.
Pismo 400Mhz/512MB/40GB, OS X 10.2.8

Laurent,
As you face your Pismo, with your hands on the keyboard, the magnet is
under your left wrist. Probably where your wristwatch is touching the
case. It's fairly strong magnet, and you can easily detect its exact
location just by waving a paperclip over that area of your case. What
kind of detector is present in the upper left corner of the Pismo
screen that detects the magnet, however, is a mystery to me, since I've
never had my lid disassembled. But that's the place to be looking.
Maybe something is unplugged or missing?
Hmm, maybe the magnet is missing? I've ran a small paper clip on the palm
rest, around the area you're suggesting and it never got stuck, so if the
magnet should be there, then I would imagine that the small paper clip would
stick, but it doesn't. I'll have to have a look later this evening, checking
the older top case and the new one.
