By process of elimination I diagnosed what was causing the lapdock to think it was open or closed.<br />
<br />
I started with the Battery, audio, keyboard and then the purple ribbon.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">The culprit is the purple Ribbon!</span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<br />
Once that was identified I switched back to the circiut board from the other lapdock and isolated JUST the purple ribbon. <span style="color: #274e13;"><b>Yes, this was it.</b></span><br />

I am going to put back together the other lapdock and then see about..... you know what I am just going to leave it here and someone else can figure out how to trick it into thinking that the magnet is attached...<br />
<br />
Aside from jumping the ribbon onto itself or cutting it which I don't want to mess with ATM.</div>

Ok so, I took apart the top back plate of a second lapdock and started troubleshooting. I did not mess up any of the PCB or wires it seems.<b> I have discovered what the culprit of the non-working screen is!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Here is a video explaining it, followed by photos of some of my troubleshooting process.<br />

See the<b><span style="color: red;"> first two posts </span></b>to get an idea of where I am coming from.<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Currently I have an issue with the screen not turning on.</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Citing the RPi build I was hoping to fix it. See build post here: <a href="http://www.element14.com/community/groups/raspberry-pi/blog/2012/09/27/raspberry-pi-lapdock-hdmi-cable-work-around">RPi Build</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The issue where the screen will not turn on is perplexing because it did work in this configuration, naked without being in the 'cradle' which houses the MICRO-HDMI/USB Male ends.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When the MICRO-HDMI/USB were in the cradle and you adjusted the angle of the cradle it would turn the screen on/off. This to me indicated that there was a physical toggle? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However now. The board will power up when connected to the MX2 creating conductivity from the Orange wire I soldered to the PIN 3 ( ground/brown ) of the HDMI/USB CX. If the MX2 is unplugged I will not get conductivity to anywhere but the immediate leech solder to the HDMI PIN3.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you see above<b> ^^^^^^^^^^^ </b>the metal strip connecting the two hinges. Which completed some sort of circuit.... when the cradle was at its full-open.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am now attempting to close that circuit.... unsuccessfully so far...</div>

I am on a mission to re-purpose the wondrous Motorola Atrix Lapdock.<br />
<br />
I am using it with a iMito MX2 successfully. I am running Finless 1.5 720P ANDROID. Also am able to boot into Ubuntu via VNC and also boot into it off a MICRO-SD via recovery workaround.<br />
