Did you try resoldering the CMOS battery connector back on and then reinserting the CMOS battery and check what happens, you didn't say?
''Don’t forget to disconnect the main battery when working in a laptop. Even when turned off there is still power available at various points on the motherboard and you don’t want to slip when using tools as this could cause electrical problems in the motherboard. The Power button is not a power isolating button.''
The CMOS battery maintains the BIOS settings, when the laptop is switched off, so if there is no power to hold the settings they may have become corrupted which could prevent the laptop from operating correctly.
When you have repaired the battery holder and are satisfied that all is well, leave the main battery disconnected and press and hold the power button for 20 seconds and release before inserting the CMOS battery.
