Hi @gmode

The RTC battery supply that maintains the BIOS when the laptop is switched off, is supplied by the main battery and not a separate battery on the motherboard.

Disconnect the main battery cable from the motherboard, then press and hold the power button operated for a full 30 seconds and release.

Reconnect the main battery cable, reassemble the laptop, connect the charger and check if it turns on OK etc.
