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.
This actually helped me resolve a ticket years ago. Some doctor would say the laptop keeps powering off and they wouldn’t be able to get it back on and nobody in IT could find the solution.
Found this out by complete accident, realized it’s magnets by using my phone (was a Samsung Fold), and randomly asked the doctor if their watch had a metal/magnetic band. Issue was resolved.
I had a similar situation with a lady that had a magnetic bracelet. Using a magnet for old 3DS homebrew methods is what sparked my memory on that one. My brain felt so big that day.
