Where is the laptop lid switch?
I replaced my Sony Vaio VGN-Z520n HD recently with a SSD and the laptop no longer goes into a sleep mode when I close the lid. I'm sure there is just some type of switch that lets the laptop know the lid is down but I cannot seem to find where it is to adjust it back into place.
Update
I was able to find it. It is located on the lower left corner of the laptop. it had a small ribbon cable connected to it that I overlooked when I was putting it back together.
Thanks for the tips oldturkey03
Is this a good question?

Take a magnet, wrap something around it like tissue paper or rag to avoid scratching the laptop, With the laptop open and running, run you magnet around the edge of laptop body until you magnet simulates a lid close. your magnet will repel or attract to the magnet, not the lid switch to confirm you have found it, reverse the magnet north south by turning it around.
