I am looking at a laptop for a family member. His laptop is a Toshiba Satellite AS05-S6965

As soon as it boots, whether it be Windows Recovery, the Windows Vista that is already installed, or a windows install disc, it shuts down. The light that indicates it's charging remains on though.

What could be the problem? Any help?
