   • If, instead of this, you see
     1. an XO with a disk, blinking usb key, followed by a blinking wireless symbol (the wireless one will come up after the usb key is done blinking)
     2. an XO with a question mark on it, and at the top of the page it says, "activation lease not found"
     3. the XO has shut itself down.
