Blinking red light for charger, no power-on

In general, a flashing red LED simply means there's a problem with the battery or charging circuit.

I'm trying it again after having let it sit for a few days with the battery disconnected, plugged into USB-C specifically and will report back. If this doesn't solve the issue, anyone have an idea for the next step? The battery has been trying to start it up, but the red light blinks when plugged into the USB-C or when plugged into barrel-jack. Would it be more reasonable to replace the charging circuit board or just go for the battery if it still won't charge?
