My new-to-me renewed laptop is dead. 

I bought from Amazon a renwed Dell laptop about 4 yeears old.  It came
on Dec 12.  I used it for about an hour and it was fine.  the charger
charged.  I coudl dl and install Firefox. I could use an external mouse.
A few other things worked. 

Then I got sick from something the doctor did to me on Dec. 11 and
didn't have the strength to work on it until last tonight. The battery
still had almost all its charge an dit started right up. I plugged in
the ext. mouse and an ext keyboard.  Then I wanted to go upstairs for a
hub, to plug in external drive.   I slept it, and notice that it woke up
when I opened the lid, then the screen went dark again when I closed the
lid, without touching any keys either time. 

Left the charger plugged in for 3 or 4 hours.  The light on the included
charger was on. There are no lights on the laptop to tell when it's
charging or on, or when caps/num/scroll lock are on. When I came
downstairs and plugged in the hub and tried to start it, it's totally
dead.  I unplugged all the usb things and it's still dead. 

I can get the model number tomorrow moring, but does what I've said give
any ideas?   And are Amazon refurbs guaranteed for 2 months? :-(  

The only thing I added to the mix today was the hub and the ext drive.
The ext drive I've used before, including 2 days ago on the other pc.
Could a bad hub do this much damage?
