Your statement above is somewhat unclear, are you saying you replaced the battery?

Is the connector on the switch loose? Replace the main board because unless you have a professional hot air rework station, I've found the connector itself difficult to desolder.

Also, of course try a different power adapter and cord.

I'm trying to find out what's wrong with it, I thought it was a battery issue so I changed that and I'm still getting no power all the connectors are fine and connected

Sounds like it could be the cord or AC adapter. Yes, you could probably find pin outs and test the cord, but easier to swap. Also the solder can get loose / crack on the power sockey board connector pins.

Also you can test the battery with the DC volts meter, but disconnect it first. I assume you let the new one charge a bit.

@leafybye battery has charge, port gives charge but nothing

No leds at all, huh? A fuse opened, perhaps. Upon Googling, it seems there is a tiny surface mount "charging port" fuse. Use the ohm meter of a multimeter to test it. If it is bad, you can replace if you are good at soldering, or send it out.
