Let’s look a bit deeper here into the power logic, install this gem of an App [link|https://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/|CoconutBattery] with the charger plugged it take a snapshot of the Apss main window and post it here so we can see it too.

So it’s clear SMC is working and correctly. The removal of the battery and leaving it in that state basically did a SMC hard reset which is why the system came back from its confused state. It’s not uncommon to need to do a hard reset. Most of the time after disconnected the battery and nothing connected to the system, we press and hold the power button to fully discharge the logic board of any remaining power holding the button for a good 15secs.

So where does that leave us? Just like a stair/hall light with a switch at the both ends to either turn on and then when you get to the other side turn the light off we have a similar logic on the logic board which manages this via a set of MOSFET switches.
This will require access to the schematics and board view drawings so you can isolate out which MOSFET and/or its support logic needs replacing as it’s clear either it was damaged during the previous repair attempts or it might have been damaged by the knockoff charger people often got not knowing it wasn’t a real Apple unit.
