I need some help troubleshooting a Toshiba Satellite. I couldn't find the model but the serial number is 1800-S254. I don't know much history on it. A friend from work told me it didn't work. Well I tried turning it on and it keeps rebooting itself once it gets to the windows xp splash screen. I thought maybe it was the battery. I checked the batt with a multimeter and it showed good power but the computer will not boot on the battery alone. It needs the ac adapter plugged in. Would a dead battery cause this problem? I have tried to go into safe mode and safe mode command prompt but it still just tries to restart. It seems like a power problem to me. I am not getting any beeps or other errors.
