I had a dell latitude for my first server. even when I removed the magnets, some how it still would detect that the kid was closed and turn off. I tried everything I could think of and more, without any luck. the solution? I removed the display entirely so it couldn't be closed and only used it via ssh or a VGA monitor if I really needed it.

I removed the magnets

I have an older ASUS ROG laptop in which the sensor is a separate PCB (less than a thumb in size) connected using a few IDC pins.
It could simply be taken off and I haven't even opened the monitor frame yet.
