My sister gave me the Lenovo g505s becaus she said it didn't work. I was gone for about a month and when I came back that's when she gave me it. I asked her what happened and she said one day it just wouldn't turn on. Me and my dad took it apart and cleaned it and tested everything we could (he used to be good with laptops back in the days) and we couldn't find the problem. When the computer is plugged in and charging it has a flashing red light. And when I press the on button the power light turns on for a second then turns off. I'm wondering. Is it the mobo that's broken or the CPU? The fans don't turn on either. Also, a bit off topic, would this laptop be able to run mobas and games like gmod and csgo. I haven't used this laptop in about 6 monthes and before, when I used it, it ran them fine. But answer my first question first so I can get this fixed. Thanks!

As it seems the laptop is not used for several days there are more chances the battery might have died. The battery could have lost its charging capacity. So for first step to troubleshoot in your case, remove the battery from the laptop & connect the AC charger to the laptop power it on. Now turn on the laptop, see if it runs good and your battery should be replaced.
