Summary of the Issue

I am trying to install windows in this chromebook, found the instructions and attempting to disable the write protection, done following the instruction up to the unplugging of battery from the mainboard and then turning the chromebook on using wall power and now it’s not booting to the ChromeOS, unless i plug back in the battery. What could be the problem here? is it fixable? or am I stuck in ChromeOS in this laptop?

  2. unplug the battery as per the instructions when installing windows

  3. power on the chromebook using wall power

Expected Behavior

As per reading the instruction, the laptop shouldve booted into chromeOS for further modifications prerequisite to installing windows.
