The hole you mentioned is the indicator light of the machine touch screen. You can try to open or close the touchpad by double-clicking the position about 45 degrees near the dot in the upper left corner of the touchpad (the indicator light is yellow, indicating that the touchpad is closed, and the indicator light is not bright, indicating that the touchpad is open).
I hope the above reply can help you.
