I unfortunately have such an insomniac laptop. I think that it's likely that the lid button is too sensitive to bumps, and would like to know if there's a way to work around this in software. (e.g. if the computer wakes up to find that the lid button is closed, put the computer back to sleep automatically.) Any tips? --Ken -- Ken (Chanoch) Bloom. PhD candidate.
