Figured it out. These things HAVE to be assisted by a battery.
Even with a 7.5v 2amp, my 5V internal logic rail with nothing connected to the logic board, was falling to 4.2v when powered on. it would chime.
Soon as i would connect an HDD, or the screen, it fell to 3.4v and did strange erratic things.
6V assisted on the battery connection, it fired right up. So, I tried the 9V method on the battery terminals alone, with the battery cover removed, it works too, but it draws around 1.80 amps idle. components start getting hotter too because of the increase in B+ voltage.
