[c-nsp] heat fins popping loose on WS-X67xx cards

[Stephen Cobb]

I used to do tech work and hand off stuff like this to our repair
guy...messed up heat sinks like this one, along with dead memory, were
problems that I saw more than anything else. If Cisco doesn't take care of
it, hit me off list and I'll put you in touch with someone that can do
repair in your area (for a price of course).
