Laptop that's only a few months old. &nbsp;Screen is dark until you start to close it and get it to about 20 - 30 degrees - almost closed. THen it comes on.<br />
<br />
It took a while but was able to change setting to not turn off when closed (if you go to zero degrees, it was turning off at that point, and when opening more than the 30 degrees, it would go dark.<br />
<br />
but thinking the lid switch was the issues / software issue didn't solve it. &nbsp;any thoughts?<br />
<br />
Its under warranty but don't want to get involved with that if it's software and / or something I can fix rather than wait for them to not fix it : )

Personal electronics includes any device, including fitness and health trackers, watches and wearable technology or personal GPS devices.

Personal Electronics

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
