    I wonder how many people will open their T510s and look for that thing you're asking about... a picture would help a lot.

    2x4? What, inches? Meters or apples? Trucks? Elephants?


    I think that is the cover of the speaker, and like every speaker it is magnetic: http://blog.l a p t o p z.com/2010/08/26/lenovo-thinkpad-t510-disassembly/

    It's most likely the magnetic switch that switches the display off when you close the lid.
