gateway notebook

Hi everyone,

silly questions really, but there is a little hole on the right side
of the keyboard on my gateway notebook, and I cant figure out its
purpose. Maybe a mic, but what a strange location, plus the hardware
tester doesnot pick up any of its activity. Please, help

hi i dont have a awnser but i also have little hole on the top of my
laptop display and at first i thought it was a mic, but sound recorder
can not pic it up.

Might this be what you are asking about

Thanks guys, i chatted with the gateway support and they assured me
its nothing....well, whether its a conspiracy or I don't know what,
but now I am even more interested in this piece of trivial knowledge.
It's not a kensington lock hole, too small to be that, and its located
on the plastic platform that surrounds the keyboard. Any other ideas?

That little hole provides access with a pin to a flexible lock on the
strip with the power button. Insert a pin, push down gently, and slide
that strip to the left to access the keyboard retaining screw.
