Latitude E5570 won't boot after power problems
I'm stuck at the Intel boot screen like my SSD is broken. It's been a somewhat long path here. About a month ago my battery swole up so I removed it. That started a bunch of problems. Sometimes a loop of booting into diagnostic mode. Sometimes shutting down right after fully booting into Windows. Mostly those two, but also some random power off whenever. They steps I took to overcome these problems, as recommended from another post, were to unplug and hold the power button for 30s. Or remove the CMOS battery for 30 minutes. I'd try the first then the second. It'd clear the problem. Eventually one of those problems would come around again.
Today I was running into shutting down right after booting into Windows. Did the troubleshoots. But after the CMOS battery reset, this time I get the Intel boot failure like my drive is gone. BIOS sees the drive. It's set to boot. I tried around resetting that and changing the drive mode. I reseated the drive. Same thing. Then I made a boot recovery thumb drive on another pc. None of the fixes on the recovery drive work. BUT I CAN BROWSE THE DRIVE IN COMMAND PROMPT! it's right there at C:
Please and thank you for any help.

Sounds like the swelling, particularly if it was extensive, has damaged the system board.
