Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi Guys, I picked up an eee 
901 last Monday. I charged it and immediately installed Ubuntu and 
adamm's kernel from array.org. Everything works brilliant! However, I 
appear to be having an issue with the sensor from the lid. it appears to 
think that it opens and closes randomly. see an image here [1], the 
screen was open all the time. I have disabled all the power preferences 
that relate to the lid functions, so it doesn't bug me, although every 
now and then the screen flashes off and on. Is it worth sending it back 
for repairs? or something i should only do if it bugs me enough? thanks

Hi Michael,

I got a 901 a few weeks ago and installed eeexubuntu. Working very well 
after a bit of fiddling about with the wireless. I haven't had any 
issues with the lid sensor. Sounds like a problem with the hardware, so 
probably worth sending back for repairs.

All the best,

Tim
