I'd check the Dell forums to see if this new BIOS has this issue. There
will be a Dell driver that tells the OS when the lid has been closed, so
it's possible that an update for the driver is necessary for it to work with
the new BIOS. As the BIOS is the interface between the hardware and the OS,
this is a possible explanation.
