I’m working on a Dell 15” XPS 7590 that is was brought in for intermittently going to the lock screen. Determined the issue is actually that the lid sensor is sending out bad data. It will read for a very short blip that the lid is closed, just long enough to lock the user’s screen, but then will read as open. So the screen will light back up.
My issue is, I cannot determine specifically where the sensor itself for this mechanism is. The magnet is in the lower right hand corner of the display bezel. I found some schematics for a similar model which seem to indicate lid data coming in from the fingerprint sensor/power button cable, which is possible due to location. But I can’t say for certain. Anyone seen anything similar?
