gatorclaws Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Under power options, advanced... there is a spot asking what to do when the lid is closed. Switch it to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumble In the Jungle Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 not sure what i did once but i thought i turned my top off, then when i came home the next day it was so fucking hot. (it was in a bag) obviously it was left on and i turned it off the next day for the night to cool off. i already exchanged it but just sayin though.
