i also got the tiny mini-power/re-set switch in the box (suggestion to Pine64 mfg. folk if they read this: maybe put it in the box a bit more securely and tape up the small cardboard box better? - it came tumbling out when i opened the box, and could have easily been lost in the mailing from slipping out through the crack in the box, just my suggestion).

i'm womdering — 
  • are there instructions or a video anywhere on how to attach it?
  • must it be sodered? i've also seen pics where the prongs were gently bent to hold it to the board?
  • i've tried putting it on the board through the holes, with it touching the connections in the right places, without sodering or bending the prongs/legs, but it doesn't seem to work like that?
if any of you could please advise on the above, i would appreciate it.

best,

Best to just solder it, if you are sure you want the power/reset switch mounted on the board like that. Bending the legs into place will never provide the secure connection you'll get from soldering. Besides, soldering is fun!

If you are scared to solder direct to the board, for fear of messing something up, you can still gain the functionality of power and reset switches by using the EXT series of connections (Page 3 of this). 

Just buy some DuPont wires and solder a switch to those. That way you don't need to solder direct to the board.
