Has anyone fixed a laptop before stuck in boot loop mode?

I revived my old Dell XPS 13 9360 with a new battery this week.

It had been stored for 4 years, unused.

With the new battery it booted up!

But it just keeps booting on repeat.

I also bought a new CMOS battery and replaced the old one (this CMOS replacement is too big to fit in the case so I'm being sent the smaller original size version)

I went into F2 and reset bios settings, reset time and date, then corrected the date to present day. uefi is selected over legacy boot settings?

And I have done multiple hardware checks and everything on the hardware side is reportedly okay. According to the laptop...

Are there any sequences I can do to fix this myself or should I go to a local computer repair person for help?

Thanks for any advice and tips! Thank you!!!
