I disconnected the battery because it wouldn't turn on with it connected

If you connect the battery, the bypass power cables should be disconnected.

https://pine64.org/documentation/Pineboo...es/Caring/

"Connecting the bypass cables together effectively connects the charger input where the battery output is, which also bypasses the charging circuit inside the Pinebook Pro. Thus, with the bypass cables connected together, the charger powers the Pinebook Pro directly, just like the battery does it when the laptop is running on battery power. This also means that no input current limiting is any longer in place, making it possible to draw more than 3 A from the charger, and to trigger its overcurrent protection, which may cause operating system instability and crashes."

So when you are attempting to boot with battery connected, are the bypass cables disconnected?
