Hi tomuk,

Right click the start orb and select 'Properties'. Select the 'Notification
Area' tab. In the section headed 'System icons', check that there is a tick
in the checkbox next to 'Power'. The other three options in this section are
also useful ones to display if you aren't already displaying them. They are
selected in the same way as described above.

The checkbox next to "Power" won't let me check it off. Now what?
