Title:

White power light flashing but laptop not booting uo

Text:

Found an old laptop in my loft, it had no harddrive in it so I've swapped one in from an old smashed screen laptop.

Battery is charging, white power light flashes.

Laptop won't boot up at all.

Any fixes?

Should I have formatted the harddrive before installing?

Thank you
