I recently got a a broken HP 550 without a screen ($4). I am wondering, is it possible for a laptop to work without a screen, connected to an external monitor? Also, when I start it, you can hear the fans starting, lights showing indicating that it's on, but after 3-4 seconds it just turns off. I tried disconnecting the screen and attaching it to external one, but with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.
