    the only way to make keyboard lid to stay on is to select "always on when dark" in Sony control panel and put some dark tape on sensor... ;)

    I was asking exact same question on Z Owner's post.

    actually thats what I do - not tape though i just sometimes put my fingers on it if i cant see a certain special-character-thingy on my keyboard.

    damn wish i could get control over it.

    thx
