I don't know what the lightbulb indicator means (not batter indicator).  I also don't know how to get it to work again.  Just unpacked it last night and spent the morning doing initial setups.  Thanks for any advice.

    The lightbulb is Power indicator
    Indicates the computer’s power status.

     

    Shut it off, unplug it and turn it upside down. Find the pinhole.

    This look right?

    Insert a paperclip into the hole and press for four seconds to reset the computer (simulates removing and reinstalling the battery).
