Have you tried unplugging it, as well as removing the battery, to get it to shut down? Then replace the parts and see if it will start fine. If not. Again shut it down (even if must pull again) and try starting it in "Safe Mode" and see if you can get past the startup screen. If yes, then there is something on the laptop that is giving you problems. Software, malware, virus, etc., and you need to clean up the computer to resolve this. If it won't start, then you may need to try and roll the computer back to a time prior to your recent changes (recovery) to see if it will load.

How to enter "Safe Mode" when booting the computer.

In Windows 8 and 10 ...

As your computer restarts, press F8 (possibly a few times) to enter "Safe Mode"

a. Press the "F4" key to Enable "Safe Mode".
(The computer will then start in "Safe Mode" with a minimal set of drivers and services.)

b. Press the "F5" key to Enable "Safe Mode" with Networking.
( Once "Safe Mode" with Networking starts, Windows is in Safe Mode, with additional network and services for accessing the Internet and other computers on your network.)

c. Press the "F6" key to Enable "Safe Mode" with Command Prompt.
(In "Safe Mode" with "Command Prompt" starts Windows in Safe Mode, with a Command Prompt window instead of the Windows interface. This option is mostly only used by IT professionals.)

Now sign in to the computer with your account name and password. (If you have one set.) When you are finished troubleshooting, you can exit "Safe Mode" restarting your computer.
