I just discovered the same problem today too. LOL. I just open up my case and unplugged the 2 prong wire harness that senses wether the case is open or closed. Lucky for me there was only two screws and one plastic piece that had to be removed to access it. Now it works great.

FYI, my notebook is the HP 4420US.
