Does WiFi reception work when the lid is horizontal?  The antenna is
usually in the lid, and usually needs to be vertical.  You can test that
by picking up the laptop and rotating it with the lid open.

If that's not the reason, have a look through /var/log/messages to see
if anything is still being triggered by the lid closure.
