Lenovo Z51-70 Previously battery not charging now turns off after couple of seconds

[kuba2102]

Hello. As in the title. The laptop was originally heavily dropped I had to replace all the housing and install new SSD. Laptop worked fine until I noticed that the battery is no longer charging. I performed basic actions, and went to buy new battery, same result. When I connected the old battery back the laptop no longer stays on. It switches itself off after couple of seconds. I must say that before I replaced the housing the laptop suffered from occasional power loss when moved around, it was due to the loose screw that got stuck in-between the heatsink and the capacitor PC1123. Now when I checked the motherboard I noticed little bit overheating on the PQ305 and some cold soldering. I fixed it and the IC stays cool, but laptop keep on going down. I'm stuck please help
