I've attached a picture of the inside of the hinge. Lack of switches suggests to me that the pocket edge uses a different method to detect when the lid is closed. On the lcd side of the unit is two magnets. One is beneath where the pen sits, so I suspect it is for charging it. But the other magnet sits on the opposite side of the lcd from the pen, and seems to have no purpose, unless the wacom sensor is able to sense it when the lid is closed.

I haven't been able to fix the lcd yet, though it seems that the touch sensor isn't working either, which gives support to it possibly being the lcd cable thats gone bad.
