I would love to see where you have your switch. i made a cut and then
realized that there was a screw position right in the way. i am
assuming that you just live without that screw.
In an attempt to see if there was a position under the board, i broke
off the piece of the panel, over the data plug location. have replaced
it with glue, but that bugs me. maybe will replace it in the future.
here is a picture of where i made my cut:
the big problem is finding a switch that is small enough, to fit without
resting on components and making a bulge.
