    I bought a m9700 from someone on craigslist few weeks ago. It worked fine for a while, now all the sudden if its plugged in it powers on, never powers off, and nothing appears on the screen.... I have tried plugging it into a monitor, nothing....

    Sounds like your graphics card is fried. You could try baking it, or else you'll need to replace it.

    I suspect whomever sold it to you has already baked it at least once to get it running good enough to sell.
