The mechanism that controls the sleep signal when your portable closes is called a reed switch. It consists of a metal switch assembly (two pieces of thin metal inside a vacuum-sealed glass bubble or other insulator, connected to the logic board via wire), and a magnet somewhere else. When the magnet comes close enough to the glass bubble, the metal strips connect, closing a circuit and telling the computer to go to sleep.
In the MacBook Pro, the magnet is located inside the display, on the right side. (If you're typing at your keyboard, staring at the screen.) It's about halfway down on the 15" model, and if you hold a paperclip to the front-facing area, it'll stick. The reed switch itself (the glass bubble with metal strips inside) is in the same position, but inside the main body of the computer itself. When you close your lid, the two come into close proximity. Bang, sleep. So i think there is no option On 02-Sep-2009, at 1:28 PM, Shreyas Kulkarni wrote: > > Please suggest me solution for the Mac Book get sleep when flap is > turned off. > > > Shreyas
