I think I see what you mean, but it looks to me less like a hole and more like
an indentation in whatever is under the nameplate.  Now, the nameplate's a
weird thing.  It's separate from the rest of the front panel and sits in a hole
therein.  Howcome?  I thought perhaps to enable the 48SX to be sold under
another name as an OEM product... but the Hewlett Packard name IS on the
underside of the case.  Or, I thought, maybe it's a secret panel for access to
the IR port... but it seems to be a little too far left for that.

So, what's the separate nameplate for?
