Physical damage to the lid latch was determined to be the cause of the missing magnet.The depleted battery (from the missing magnet) was determined to be the likely cause of the unexpected device shutdown.An engineering investigation has determined that due to the design of the lpcr2 lid switch, absence of the lid magnet allows current to flow from the battery, even when the device is in standby mode.This will reduce the life of the battery.Therefore, the reported issue, the loss of lid/lid magnet, is associated with two hazardous situations: opening the lid does not turn on the device, and, higher than intended current draw while the device is in standby mode results in a prematurely depleted the battery.Replacement of the device lid so that the magnet is present in the device allows the lid switch to function as designed; turning on/off the device when the lid is opened and preventing current draw when the device lid is closed.The lpcr2 operating instructions has been updated to include additional troubleshooting tips to direct the customer to act when device behavior indicates the lid magnet may be missing.A new warning informs the customer of the risk associated with a missing magnet.
