Never ever bypass lid switch. Legal liability forever. Any future owner of machine has 2 years from the day they discover bypass to sue the crud out of you for injuries. Not worth it for cheap lid switch. Do it right. If you discover bypassed lid switch on customers machine, fix it or leave machine inoperable.

Yes. You need to determine if the switch is normally open contact or closed contact after which you bypass it. The hard bit is probably finding a spot where you can get at the wires to by-pass the switch. If you can find this spot, remove the wired, place an ohm meter across the switch and open and close the lid a few times. I suspect you will get a reading when the lid is closed, meaning you just join the wires together to bypass the lid.
