[T42] Small metallic piece : cannot remember location

Hi,

When removing the motherboard of a Thinkpad T42, this small metallic piece has fallen:

Does one of you have idea where it comes from?

When you lift up the VGA-connector-cable (that goes to the far right corner) from the mobo-connector, that's where that piece comes from.
It sits 'hollow-side' up, pointing away from you.
Nobody will miss it if you don't put it back in.
