Ok It is working again. The 150 is a strange bird. Don't replace the battery on the jedi board, don't remove the old one, don't leave it plugged in and omg don't pick shut down from the menu. It consistently boot both my motherboards each time so far. I am guessing its a power switch feature on the motherboard, even with removing the battery or putting a new one on the jedi board since it is remote to the motherboard seems to enhance the issue. like removing the cable and putting it back it trips the off switch and it sticks kind of thing. I know I maybe losing some people on this and I am over simplifying it but so far a full day of use that's what I am finding. I am going to try and just bridge the gap on my other jedi board and see if I can get the parts machine going, Its ugly and all broke but if it boots maybe I can help someone out with it.
