G73JW + cell phone turns off display

[Anze86]

Hi guys,

I have noticed strange behaviour - when i put my nokia cell phone near ESC button on top left corner of laptop, screen turns off. When i remove it screen turns back on. It does not happen with other cell phone or if I cover it with hand/paper etc... ???

This behavior is due to a magnetic switch that is used to detect when the laptop lid is closed.
