41 MacBook Pro (late 2016) not waking/sleeping properly
Hello, everyone! A friend of mine's late 2016 Macbook Pro (A1708) is not waking when opened. He also says it's been failing to sleep when shut, causing it to overheat in his bag. I'm sure that the battery is still working, since it's still providing voltage when I check with a multimeter.
I'm fairly sure it's an issue with the sleep sensor (the one that finds the angle of the screen), but I would really appreciate a second opinion on this.
Thanks, everyone!

@shingle you see that is the reason why it‘s a comment and not an answer ;-)

@shingle your computer also has a right sensor which is placed on the audio flex. You can always check the voltage on J6600 pin 25 and pin 27. If you have 3V on those, your sensors are good. If you do not have 3V, they are not. If you then approach your sensors with a magnet, the voltages should drop to 0v. J6600 is in the middle of the board, right hand side on the bottom side. It should be enough to just remove the lower case.
Of course do this only if you are comfortable with using a multimeter and checking components on a circuit board :-). Since we do not know what your skills are, this is to be considered as just another option.

Sorry, you're thinking of the TouchBar model, this model only has the one Hall sensor and magnet.

Oldturkey, I think that Dan may be correct about only the touchbar model having the second sensor, but I really do appreciate the in-depth suggestions! You've always been pretty good at that (at least, in my experience)!
Also, the second part of your answer is quite thoughtful, and even though I am (somewhat) experienced with a multimeter, I still do appreciate you looking out for me.
