I let the battery drain last night before plugging it back in. It wouldn’t turn on though, so I ended up unplugging the battery and plugging it back in to kick it into boot. I also flashed the BIOS again earlier and nothing. I can keep unplugging the battery to kick it into boot whenever it shuts off, but opening it up everytime I want to turn it on is far from ideal lol.
I’m suspecting it’s a physical failure of the Power button now. I’ve seen one person suggest shifting the Mobo up a bit because it can shift down to where the button can’t reach after extended use, so I may try that next. I’m also going to unplug the battery and clean the physical button with Alcohol to hopefully improve contact.

The power button thing would be very disappointing cause it is a vital button that is expected to be pushed a lot… I hope you can figure it out whatever it is.
