You can start it with the battery out, shut it down after bios setup and launching once, then put the battery in and launch it if its anything like the cmos failure thay happened with my laptop. I swapped to fast charging, my issue was hybrid battery compensating for weaker charger brick (they dont support a more powerful brick either for passthrough, battery is needed for full performance, alienware laptops are weird)
