Chosen Solution
I have a macbook unibody and recently replaced the display assembly (thank you iFixit!) and all works well, except that the computer doesn’t go to sleep when i close it. I did a little snooping and checked – the position of the magnet that controls the switch on the display is on the edge, and the magnet on the actual computer seems to be in a different position, on the right (as you open the mac) and a bit away from the edge. Now, if I have identified the position correctly – no guarantee – all I need to do is move the little magnet over an inch. But I am not sure if that is in fact possible, and I haven’t found a good picture anyplace of what it looks like. So if anyone can point me to a guide on the site (or another site) that will show me where it is that would be great. And if you can tell me if I am just SOL or not. It’s not a big deal, I can put the computer to sleep and close the lid. But it would be nice to fix. Anyhow, that’s the deal. Any help is appreciated.
Did you replace the entire lid assembly or did you replace the LCD alone here? Its’ possible the magnet slipped out of position if you replace just the LCD. If you replaced the entire lid assembly then you may have gotten the wrong part (double check your P/N’s). The magnet sensor is part of the IR sensor unit just in front of the HD. You can see the black cable hugging the case just under the HD in this picture sensor cable and in this one you can see the sensor block sensor
