Your Pinebook Pro should now sleep properly when the lid is closed.

===Alternative Non-Invasive Lid Magnet Repositioning Method===

*This method only takes a few seconds, and doesn't require disassembling your Pinebook Pro:

# Turn on your Pinebook Pro so you can easily test when the internal magnet is in the correct position.

# Open the lid.

# Take a tiny 1/8" neodymium magnet, and place it along the right edge of the front bezel (LCD side) to locate the internal positioning magnet and discover the correct polarity. There should be one spot where it has the most attraction. Mark that spot.

# Using a very strong neodymium magnet(s) oriented with the same polarity you discovered using the tiny magnet, carefully place it on the spot you marked, and slowly slide it down the bezel until the internal magnet is pulled into the proper position. I successfully used four 1/2" cube neodymium magnets stacked on top of each other each having 20lbs of pull force to accomplish this.

# The internal magnet should be placed about 1 to 1.5cm lower than where it was originally. There should be no need for adhesive, as the magnet will stick to the LCD panel. For reference, the hall effect sensor that the magnet interacts with is in between the USB port and audio jack.

# Remove all external magnets, and test that the internal magnet is positioned correctly by slowly closing the lid while watching the LCD screen to make sure it stays suspended when closed, and wakes up when opened.
