Could just be (a) stuff/spares/etc that got soaked in the recent flooding, (b) stuff that is stopping a proper inspection of the hold after the recent flooding or (c) something else entirely.
Ground power working is a good sign all is ok. I wouldn't panic at least until you find the engines missing..
