    Oh shit does that work? I’m in the exact situation and was trying to figure out how to get this laptop to boot.

      I, too, have been able to resurrect laptops by removing the battery. In theory, the battery should be prepared but bypassed while on charger but in practice a lot of laptops are routed such that battery failure means inoperability.
