Auto Screen On Hack

My brother showed me his modification to his tablet cover. When cover is opened tablet turns on and tablet turns off when you close cover. Tablet cover did not have this feature built in. Using small refrigerator magnet, move over top cover to locate sensor area so cover opening turns on tablet and attach magnet to outer cover. Problem was when outer cover was flipped behind tablet it caused tablet to turn itself off. Simulator diagram is large square of closed tablet cover and light bulb is small round refrigerator magnet at proper location to turn tablet on when cover is lifted. Small square is credit card size of galvanized metal glued to bottom of plastic bump guard on tablet ( not to back of tablet ) to disperse magnetic field so tablet stays on when top cover is folded directly in back of tablet. Of course, check to make sure it is working before permanent mount.
