Laptops use one of 4 "display closed" sensors:

A small lever-style button near the base of the monitor
A metal or plastic button inside the latch well.
A lever mechanism built into the base of the monitor.
An RF or magnetically triggered system in the base of the system and the top of the monitor

Most newwer PCs have the 3rd kind. If this is the case, you'll have to replace it or the monitor's shell.
