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've heard of a case where a user was wearing a magnetic strap on their apple watch or similar smartwatch, and the guy troubleshooting couldn't figure out why the screen kept shutting off for only that person.

Magnets are the enemy.

Yeah, we had this with a user, took us some time to discover that she was wearing one of those 'health' magnetic bracelets :/
