This laptop has a dead battery but will receive power when plugged in and was working in the past. I think there is something wrong with the bios on the motherboard. I think the guy I bought it from had the same issue but when I popped in a new hard drive and installed windows on it again it was working for a while. I know it's not the monitor because it doesn't put anything through the HDMI out as well. Would be a good laptop if you know how to fix it. Comes with 2 power cables. No SSD or HDD.
