===================

When removing the heatsink to flip the DIP switch on the compute board, keep track of the little plastic spacers:

Add a couple drops of beer to one rim of the spacers, and let it dry until it's sticky.  Shove them on the heatsink and let the beer hold them in place while you reattach the heatsink.
