MY CHROMEBOOK C720 WON'T BOOT INTO RECOVERY MODE!?

Keep in mind that my chromebook has no distinguishable power button. Just a button I presume is power in place of the f11 key (It literally has a power logo). When i attempt to press this button, nothing happens. When I hold this button, nothing happens. When I connect an external keyboard, nothing happens, ya' get it?

I have attempted the standard regime: Holding esc + f3 (refresh) while tapping, or holding down, the power button. No results. It seems as if the Chromebook is impervious to any and all affect the power button may cause. Is it even feasible that I would be able to enter recovery mode? What the hell is wrong with this bull? (And, NO. There is no switch or any discernable power button on the side, back, front, etc)

Help is much appreciated.

    Normal behaviour for a Chromebook!

    An obvious question - is it plugged in? Is the battery fully charged?
