Whilst the coin cell CMOS battery is out if you have a DMM (digital multimeter) check the voltage of the coin cell battery. If it is <2.6V DC replace it. The battery part # is 04W4118. Search online using the part number to find suppliers
Then reconnect the CMOS battery and reconnect the charger to the laptop. Leave the main battery out at this stage.
Try to turn on the laptop and check if there is a display and that it boots to the OS.
