So is this in the bug database now?

And when are you going to fix it? :)

This used to happen with Apple iBooks awhile ago. I knew someone who's sister had this problem and it took a long time for Apple tech support to figure this out but eventually someone asked her if she wore any bracelets and that was the problem.

Funny to see this continues to be a problem : )

That is what's called a reed switch, I believe.

just change the power settings to not shut down when the lid is closed. i close the lid on my laptop all the time when moving from room to room and i don't want the laptop to power down.

some security guy probably thought it was a feature...

Michael, would you mind my sharing the translation of this post to my audience? I'd like them to smile =)

Your undesired behavior is someone else's feature. I want to close the lid and have the laptop sleep without thinking about it. NoO need to be belligerent about it.

What's wrong with the little mechanical switch between the lid and the body? I guess Sony figures you'll be opening and closing your laptop so often that it might wear out...

Uhm...what kind of a dude wears a bracelet?

Some believe that magnetic bracelets relieve the pain of arthritis. I'm not sure if it's a proven fact, but many people with arthritis wear them...

Reminds me of an intermittent reboot problem. A few years ago one of our project leads was convinced Windows was 'unstable'. I sat with her to try and spot the error, then offered to fix it for a quarter. The solution: tape the quarter over the on/off button she was hitting with her knee!

When I upgraded my laptop from XP to Vista, it had an intermittent reboot problem.

The solution? Changing the power plan from "High performance" to "Power saver".

I'm supposing Vista overheats the cpu and the motherboard shuts it off.

I'm about to buy an HP. Does it have the same magnet problem?
