I was flashing Libreboot on to my ThinkPad T480, when I noticed this little button. Sorry for the poor images!

Sweet! Thanks! :D
Ooh, this looks interesting.
You’ve verified it’s a button?
I haven’t yet dares trying to press it, but looking at it with the naked eye, it does look like - for instance - the bootloader button on a Raspberry Pi Pico. Couldn’t come up with another example. Lol.
Well, if the power is off/battery out you could safely push it to feel it.
Looks like a button to me, wonder of it’s just a reset button.
Curious to hear from an expert though!
