What's the mystery sliding-switch-like thing on the front bottom edge of the case below the power/reset buttons and indicator lights?

The mystery switch is your power led dimmer switch. It is only apparent when the power is on, but once you do that it becomes apparent.

You've found it. It's a 3-position switch. I don't have it in front of me, but the options are something like OFF, WHITE or COLOR CHANGING mode.

On the top row, far right, above the Delete key. Looks like a little light bulb.

There is a on/off sliding bar type switch under the handle, on the machine itself, not the handle.

Make sure the drive unit is rotated with the off/on switch on the bottom also check that the drive unit wires coming out at the end are not letting the case completely close.

Mine was not power sliding. The connector at end was different and there were extra wires. I cut the connector off and spliced to old connector and also cut off and taped wires i didnt need. But otherwise fits and works the same.

on the side where you plug in the USB, there's a slider. The "on" position is in the middle.

There's hard overlay buttons for the power switch and the volume, but the vibrate switch is exposed as is the home button

I'm thinking it is the bottom. I've not used mine or unboxed it yet. Sorry I'm not much help.

That is called an "air gap" tab. It cuts the power to the switch when popped out.

It's a tiny on and off switch on the left side, if it's facing you. Opposite side of the charging port.

On the side opposite to the one with the volume and power control press down and out on the colored plastic cover. It will slide out and expose the battery compartment. It is tight so you will have to use some force. I was a bit stumped by this too as there is no documentation in the packaging.

The light on the front is an LED that you can change to red, green, blue, or have it rotate between the three. When the computer is off the light casing appears gray.

Sorry, I haven't opened the case except for the battery. There is a large panel on the bottom side roughly under the touchpad area that could be unscrewed and might contain the ram slots.

The power button is on the top front. The on/off switch on the power supply is mounted on the bottom back where it mounts.
