What you got the laptop.
If you did, the first thing you do is plug the mains adapter into it and charge the battery of the laptop of a good eight to ten hours without using it.

That step is very important.
The screen goes black to conserve electricity in the battery when the stored power in it is low.
This is because when a laptop battery runs low it saves as much juice as it can to safely shut windows down till you full charge the battery.

If you never did an initial eight or ten hour charge with the mains supply adapter plugged in on the laptop left off.
You can damage the battery to a point where the charge level is very low, and never charges to it`s full storage capacity.
You must perform an initial charge of the battery of the laptop.

Most likely the case the screen goes black as a matter of saving power in the battery when it is very low. If you never had it connected to the mains when using it at the time you said the screen went black ok.
