Sorry, it still isnlt clear to me.
Let's keep this really simple.
After you have turned the thing on and it has finished the startup cycle, what does the power LED look like? That's the one on the top on the left.
What colour is it? White or amber?
Is it solid or blinking?
The rest don't matter at this stage.
