Lenovo Legion 5 Laptop power button does nothing... sometimes?

Lenovo Legion 5 15IMH05H

This is really weird.

I can't power on the laptop, normally. The only only way I can power it on is by unplugging the CMOS batt along with the standard batt, then plugging in the CMOS followed by the standard batt. All of this has to be done with the display in the open position or it will not power on.

Once the laptop is on, the power button will do nothing with short presses. Holding the power button will shut down the laptop completely and then the power button will do nothing after that.

Initially I thought it was the OS settings telling the power button to do nothing so I reinstalled Win 10 on a separate m.2. Still power button did nothing.

I then thought it was the BIOS so I checked the settings to see if there were power button options and there were not. So I updated the BIOS and still nothing.

I then checked the domed button on the logic board to see if there was any damage but it looks fine and also if it were damaged then holding the power button should do nothing as well.

Idk. I'm stuck boys. Let me know if anyone has any insights.
