I can't think of any way to test this without getting some power to the device. I know nothing about this, but it occurs to me that if you were somehow able to provide correct power to the device by bypassing the battery this would indicate that the problem probably was the battery. I think davidfor suggested earlier taking out the battery and connecting the USB, but please don't rely on my memory.

The internal SD card can be read easily under Linux or a Mac. Windows doesn't like the card because it has multiple partitions on it and two of them are non-Windows partitions. There probably is a way to do it, but I've never bothered to sort out how.
If worst comes to worse just boot with a live linux usb or DVD. Ubuntu or Mint are probably your best bet. Plenty of help is available if you get stuck.
