Update: Tried openSUSE, battery seems to be charging now and I can unplug it too. Everything seems to work. Will try other images again to see if they work now as well.

Update2: Ok openSUSE does seem to have similar problems. If I get it booted It works just fine, even rebooting works, but If I reinsert the battery while unplugged then boot it starts acting weird again. If it doesn't boot, the screen stays off and will be bricked until battery is removed. Only way I can fix is if I boot while plugged in. This technique also works for Mobian and jumpdrive, but those will power off if unplugged.
Maybe disconnect and reconnect the power board cable? Might not be plugged in all the way.
Is it the lego connector on bottom left? Reconnected but no difference. I think it might be a software issue because all of the hardware features work, but the OSes don't function properly.
