The first time, I tried without plugging in the power cord. I guess that is necessary, and you do say to do it, but a warning would help.
I saw a light between the expansion ports light up when I plugged in the power cord. The light on the other side of the laptop did not light up.
Even then, pressing the power button didn't do anything.
After waiting 2 minutes each time, I started paying closer attention to the light around the power button itself. At first I thought it would only momentarily flash when I turned it on. But now I'm guessing that by holding the button down for a slightly longer fraction of a second, I was actually turning it off or something.
Finally, after noticing that the little lights between the expansion ports were on on both sides of the laptop, I tried pressing again, this time for a shorter time, and the light around the power button stayed on this time. Yay!
I suggest being much more clear about the indications we should look for.
After clicking the "Download Etcher" button to get to https://etcher.balena.io/#download-etche... - I do not find any executable to download that looks like a "portable version that runs directly from the executable", at least for Ubuntu . So I guess I have to install the .deb they provide. I clicked and looked several times'
But later after visiting the github page and returning, some relevant options appeared. Some odd bug with their download page or my chrome browser....
