PinePhone constantly vibrating and won't take charge

I know this post is kind of old but I think it's worth sharing in case anyone runs into a similar problem.
When I first got my smartphone I tried plugging it in and it just vibrated endlessly, only then did I read the manual and removed the tape from the battery that prevented it from touching the contacts.  So it seems that it constantly vibrates when plugged in and there's no connection to the battery, maybe you broke something s.t. the connection to the battery got severed.
