floating lightning bolt and usb symbol

i did something in the setting by accident. something to do with a disc and i hit reset. now there’s a floating lighting bolt and usb symbol on my screen. i don’t have a power button so i can’t just power it on, and i’ve tried most of the key combinations and it never changes. it’s fully charged as well

That shows you invoked target disk mode. You are unlikely to want that unless you sought it out.

You DO have power button. A deep press of the touchid sensor held for ten seconds.
