    Hi,
    When my LG-S1 is plugged-in, & I close the Lid, the monitor goes off (it is set by windows to not perform any action).
    When I open the lid, the monitor stays off, but the rest of the computer is still working (HD, Wireless, etc...)

    I've been to the Labs about three times, to receive an OK answer about it...

    Any ideas?

    It's a driver problem. If you have plenty of time, you can mess around with the registry (change LidBahavior to something), but if you want it to work, it easier to just switch back to the stock drivers

    I figured it might be a Driver problem, but I tried both ATI's & LG's...
    (I even tried formating just to check it out)

    mtk, are you using Windows Vista?
    I had the same problem but i did downloaded and tried a lot of ATI drivers, some of them got that error.
