I could be mean and tell you to read page 9 of the mainboard schematic, but I won't!  Big Grin

I could be even meaner, and scare you by saying that's the self-destruct switch, but I won't do that either.  Big Grin

Ok, serious now. You won't want to touch that switch unless you are a developer. The headphones jack on the pinebook can be used either for audio, or software switched to be the UART (serial console / debug). That switch is an override that will force it be UART. If you flick it and have headphones on when your pinebook boots, your ears will regret it. And if you have it plugged into into your stereo/amplifier, your amplifier and speakers may also not like it.
