I am not sure what the hell is going on, neither I know where to ask. For me it looks like phenomenon, but it often ends up being completely explanatory.

I've discovered that if I place my SAMSUNG Galaxy S4 mini smartphone somewhere in the right of the DELL Inspiron (n series) touchpad, it turns off the monitor. I made sure the mobile devise has nothing turned on (such as wifi, bluetooth etc)

DETAILS: It turns off the laptop's monitor when it keeps vertical proximity to the hotspot(s) not larger than an inch.

Who has any idea what this is about ?

The Inspirons have a magnetic catch for when you close the laptop lid.

They use the magnetic sensor to work out when the lid is closed so the screen no longer needs to be on.

Your phone is triggering the sensor.
