When placing a Framework 13 on top of another Framework 13 laptop, the screen will turn off. How come?
minus-squaredfyxAlinkfedilinkarrow-up24·3 months agoThe sensor that recognizes if the laptop is closed sits on the left, next to the audio jack. If you get a magnet within 2-3 cm of it, it triggers and the screen turns off. Seems like the magnet in the lid of the other laptop is just close enough.
minus-squaremark3748@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 months agoYep, there’s a hall-effect sensor in there. My watch band does the same thing to several laptops. Pretty annoying but not really a problem.
