Alienware M770I question

[wwischerath]

I just picked up an Alienware M7700I for the bargain price of free. Now, it is missing the hard drives and the screen is dark. After some quick checking I either have a bad invertor, bad backlight, or the switch is stuck in the closed position. Seeing as I picked it up in Iraq, dust is a big issue. Now for my question-where the heck is the lid close switch?

Backlight and invertor are cheap but would like to make sure that is the problem. Can anyone tell me where the switch is located?

Thanks for any help.

Ok, then how about if this thing is even worth fixing? How can I expect it to perform?
