Yep, that's the one (thinkpad T42p) it was located just next to the webcam,
over the display, angled towards the keyboard, with a slight overhang from
the case, so that the led was not directly visible. It was switchable with a
key Fn combo. Just ON/OFF, no real need for light levels.

Real nice idea, before backlit keyboards...

I'll take some closeup pics when I get back where it is stored.

I'd do a dual one, with LEDs far apart, to avoid making hand shadows.
