Trick you notebook to go to sleep…
Posted by: Kellen on: April 24, 2009
this can be useful if you don’t have a external keyboard, say to wake your second screen.
Many laptops have a magnetic switch that tells the computer to go to sleep when the lid closes. Older Macs could be fooled into going to sleep with their lids up by waving a magnet by the upper right hand corner of the lid. Newer Macs can be fooled by resting a magnet on the switch on the right hand side of the keyboard. Caution: don’t put a magnet near your hard drive!
You want it, we got it.
