Macbook Pro won't sleep after replacing hard drive

Good Day,

I have recently replaced the hard drive on my mid-2007 15" Macbook Pro, and now I can't put the thing to sleep when closing the lid. I can sleep it with menu commands, etc, just not when closing the lid.

I've read other threads about this but they all seem to revolve around a magnet in the display section, however I did not disassemble any part of the display, just the lower section so I could get at the hard drive. I didn't notice any stray parts or anything come loose, it was actually a whole hell of a lot easier to replace the hard drive than I imagined! (I did it with official printed instructions).

Does anyone have any insight on how I can fix this? Thank you!
 
You should be able to take a magnet and move it close to the left side of the screen and the machine should go to sleep to check the sleep magnet. Otherwise I would take it apart and make sure the sleep LED is plugged into the logic board. If you have an external firewire drive with a system loaded you could check and make sure its not software.
