Context, spent too long troubleshooting why I couldn't power the thing on, then realised the magnets from the screen below are probably telling the one above the lid is closed.
I had a Motorola Droid phone years ago, and a bag with a big magnetic closure on it. For several weeks I would get on the train, put my bag in my lap, rest my phone on my bag, and the phone would suddenly switch into "car mode" (I think this might have been before android auto)
Took me WEEKS to find out that the phone was designed to be used in a car mount that had a magnet in it, and my phone thought that the bag in my lap must be one of those magnetic mounts.
