Hi Matt I am not familiar with Satallites but in my experience laptops should boot even with a totally bad battery as long as the ac adapter is connected. It sounds to me like there might be something wrong with the charging circuit in the laptop. A short probably. You may be able to find it with a ohmmeter.
