I've torn the lid angle sensor while trying to clean the inside of my computer. I've attempted to work around this by putting the computer to sleep before closing the lid however the screen turns back on as soon as it is closed. Also strange that the screen will stay on indefinitely until the battery is dead, even though i've changed my power savings settings are to turn the display off after one minute of inactivity. Its odd because if the sensor is broken and the computer thinks that it's still open, it should turn off after inactivity. The only solution i've found is to shut the computer off before closing it which is not ideal. Finally, i've found replacement cables online however i've been reading that this will need to be calibrated by a professional? Can anyone confirm if this is true?

Thank You

Thank you all for the wealth of information. Just to provide an update to you all, i made sure to purchase a used angle sensor that was taken from a working computer and replaced it on my own. So far everything works as it should!

I have issues with my 2020 macbook air.

It think that it is always closed. I can't get it out of sleep for more than 2 seconds (if plugged in) and keyboard and trackpad don't work.

It works great with external monitor and peripherals.

I tried : new keyboard/trackpad flex cable, new trackpad, unpluggin the screen, le left speaker and microphone array (i saw that the lid sensorS are on the mics / right speaker), tried unplugging every board i could, nothing change.

What can i test now ? Maybe the soundcard board ? Can the lid sensor management be bad ?

I'm a bit lost.

Thank you very much !

1. Hard resetting the monitor (holding power button for 30 seconds while unplugged).

2. Plugging the HDMI cable directly into the laptop instead of using a hub.

3. The flashlight test (no faint image visible).

4. Checking Windows display settings (the laptop doesn't detect the monitor).

Is there a specific internal component like a capacitor or a fuse on the main board that commonly fails in this way on Sceptre monitors?

I've seen some general videos for other A-series phones, but I want to make sure I know the specific screw locations and any pitfalls for the A16 model (like hidden ribbon cables or specific adhesive types used for the back cover).

What are the specific steps for this model, and are there any differences between the 4G and 5G variants for this specific part?

Recently it stopped making ice again. Took it back apart, Defrost area was not frozen over. Some slight frost on the condenser tubes, but nothing else. Melted it all, also blew the air onto the feed line port (where it comes into cabinet). This resolved the issue for a couple days.

No ice again, did some checking and found that the water inlet assembly could be going out, letting water drip, which was freezing up. Replaced this, and at same time cleaned all the dust off the coils and such. Also replaced both the filter in basement (in line with feed) and the one in fridge. This worked for several weeks, but yesterday no ice again.

I'm going to check for iced over again, but where else should I look?

How is this white plastic arm removed or where can I get a replacement?
