With lid switch

 

 

When you use USB-GD internal with HDD or you use some Button as lid switch - put this file to USB
After that, lid switch will work vice versa, i.e. when the lid is opened - the console is supposed that "lid is closed",

because with USB HDD you can't close the lid  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Gkw99a8NOg
