I somewhat recently acquired an M100 in fairly decent condition, but the battery had not yet been changed and it needed the space bar properly re-mounted. It was in operable condition, booted, and worked. I opened it up to fix up the keycap and quickly dike out the battery to buy myself time to come back to the machine later.
After cutting out (and not replacing) the battery, the machine starts, prints the menu, and then freezes. In this state the clock is not advancing. I've yet to do any troubleshooting whatsoever beyond this point as I needed to put the unit away for a while. When I come back to it, what are some things I should look for? Considering it worked before I opened it I'm assuming I damaged something in the battery region while making my cuts. I don't know if there's a trace or component in that area that'd lead the machine to run exactly long enough to paint the menu and then halt. Does this sound like a machine state anyone's seen before?
