HP Pavilion - Close Case Without Sleeping

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

At home, I run an external monitor and keyboard hooked to my HP Pavilion DV-1207. I
would like to fully close the HP's case , however, this puts the system into sleep
mode, which obviously I don't want. Is there a way to close the case when running
external monitor and keyboard without sleep mode?

Be aware that heat generated by the CPU, disk drive etc., depending on the
design and model, can damage the LCD display. Having said that some models
are designed to operate this way (e.g. in a docking station).
