I did watch the 5V line through several loops, and the voltage is constant.

I don't think my meter is fast enough to do logic stuff, but I suppose I could try. What is there to lose?

I'll post back shortly.

EDIT: Well, I couldn't figure it out, but I did discover that my multimeter has a logic mode, though it seems to only measure single digit megahertz. Anyway, I also discovered that it behaves the same way as if I was trying to boot from AC with no battery installed (something which isn't supposed to be possible with a stock charger, which I have), so something seems to be somehow wrong with the battery circuit.

By the way, do I need to install a 9 volt battery for it to boot? Does anybody have an "Owner's Guide" of sorts?

EDIT 2: I found this site. I'll look through that for any clues.
