If you haven’t swapped-out the display (which is where the magnet is located) then there is only one other possibility the Hall sensor has failed or the ribbon cable which it is mounted to has.

You’ll heed this part MacBook Pro 13" Unibody (Mid 2009-Mid 2010) Hard Drive Cable and follow this guide MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Mid 2010 Hard Drive Cable Replacement

Besides the HD SATA connector this cable has the SIL LED and the Hall sensor is just above the LED pressing against the uppercase.
