Nokia N73 makes 2010 MBP go to sleep

Hi all,

I came across this very very very wierd problem with my MBP.
I have contacted Apple Support, but because my device is +1 year there is no coverage. What the h*** do i do?

Your phone has speakers, which contain magnets. The lid of your MacBook also contains magnets to hold the laptop shut when you close it. The top case of your MacBook contains magnetic sensors so it knows when it is closed. Place a strong enough magnet near one of these sensors, and you will trick the laptop into thinking the lid is closed, so it will put itself to sleep. It is nothing to be concerned about.
