“I Can’t Make This Stuff Up” item for today

This is a real help desk ticket. The computers in question are Mac Minis connected to Dell displays. There are not a lot of places to look on a Mac Mini for a power button. There is nothing wrong with the computers or the displays. 

“Since I have been in this room. This is 3 years now, I cannot just go to a computer in my classroom and use it. Right now on the Dell one I wanted a student to use it to type up a story, and lo and behold it would not work. We have a blank screen. Then another student turned it off and turned it back on and we had a green light for a moment, then we saw, in screen saver mode, and then we had a yellow light. 

I can’t turn the other computer on because I don’t know where to do that. My room parent shut it off because she feels it is too loud and she comes and uses the other one to level books. 

Please give me a minilesson on starting up the computers.”
