The Lenovo Yoga 720 laptop has a restriction where it will not boot with the lid closed. This is a problem because I have several of these and they are set to do automatic OS and software updates at night and during off time. With the lid open, everything works great. With the lid closed, the machine will not reboot until the lid is flipped open.
Lenovo has been asked by many folks to fix this and the response is that feature is only available in business machines.
There has to be something in the BIOS that checks the lid switch and allows the boot or restricts it. I'm very comfortable with flashing via a programmer, but I have no idea where to look in the BIOS dump or what changes to make.
I can get into Avanced BIOS settings and there is a lot there, but again, I'm not sure if the setting is visible there or what I am looking for.
Any help or suggestions would be awesome. Thanks!
