Speaking of "compression" (in the electronics realm) ...

You know how they tell you to ground yourself before installing a chip
or card into a PC to discharge static electricity?

the power switch to turn the unit back on. Watch/listen carefully to
what happens.

That's a step that's not often mentioned in the installation
instructions.
