Dell Studio 1737 running windows 7.

Hi ladies and gents.

Got a bit of a problem thats completely perplexing me to the point insanity. Building a custom 1737 laptop with a custom lid, motherboard, ram, cpu, everything.

Problem 1.. Everytime you go near the lid and even slightly flex it to shut it, the system will shut down. Ive disabled all actions on the power management to do with the lid being put up and down, but still nothing...

Problem 2. Sound. Ive installed the IDT drivers and it shows that sound is being played and drivers are installed via the playback devices, and the corner speaker icon, it plays through th ejack and the HDMI audio, but not through the speakers.. Ive changed the speakers for new ones and still nothing. Have uninstalled the driver adn used the standard microsoft HD audio codec and still the same problme occurs.

Any insights or can anybody shed any light on these two rather annoying problems...

Thanks
