Laptop screen goes into sleep mode mid-working in Swift Go 14

Ninbus

Acer Swift Go 14, around 2 yrs old max. The screen goes black and in to sleep mode whilst I’m working on it. Then I have to click on the mouse pad to open it, briefly the lock screen shows up and then it opens up again. I click back in the document and continue. This procedure can happen once or multiple times in a row, and happens in sequences. So I can be working on it, and then it shuts off/on several times for a few minutes, and then suddenly is fine again. Or it goes down once a while for a longer period of time. Doesn’t matter if it’s fully charged or not, or with/without chord. Is this worth fixing?

That can happen if the lid closed sensor sees metal or a magnet next to it. I see it most often when the lower left corner of my laptop gets too close to the keys in my pocket, and decides I've closed the lid. :)
