Edit: this guide doesn’t seem to mention it https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t480-type-20l5-20l6/20l6/20l6s01q2y/document-userguide

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

That is the button behind the "emergency reset hole" in the bottom case panel. It's explained in the user manual.

No luck on the punk rock band, but I thank you for the help with the manual! XD

Scribd has the schematic of the board, but I'm not technical enough to use it and answer your question.
