Compaq Presario 1200 xl111 Laptop

Does anyone know if a Compaq 1200 series laptop will start without the battery installed?

My computer will not turn on. The A/C power seems to be working (light is on)...but nothing when I push the button. I have tried "recalibrating" the battery, holding the button down for (x) minutes...etc...nothing.

Could the battery be bad and be preventing a boot? Or is something else happining here?...?...?

More than likely something else is happening. Laptops will run without the battery as long as you have the a/c power cord connected. Even Compaq's.
