    I just got my Z96Js back after an RMA and I was wondering if it is supposed to go into standby when you close the screen (I have the option selected in windows so that it "should") but it isn't going into standby. If so does anyone know where the switch is for this so I can check if its functioning correctly?
    thanks!

    If in power options you have selcted for it to stanby once the screen is closed then yes. You can try hibernate and if it still does not do either it is safe to assume that the switch, which i belive is magnetic is not working right. I ve seen that happen a few times after a trip to rma.

    Thanks Geared2play, Yeah it still dosen't work. Darn, any ideas on where the switch is or how to fix it? I saw a small magnet when I took off the black "buttons plate" above the keyboard in the middle. Maybe I should try to pry it out and reposition it or something? Anyone else successfully fixed the problem?
