If you turn the bezel over and look at the lower left hand side, you will 
notice a magnet. The board with the power button, etc. on it has some sort 
of sensor that sits right beneath this magnet. I'd assume that this 
magnet/sensor combo is used to determine if the lid is closed. I'd try 
playing around with the magnet, moving it around the bezel, until you can 
have the lid at a reasonable angle with the laptop remaining on.
