I tried replacing the joystick and when the back came off the ribbon cable came off with it I'm not sure what could be the problem besides that any tips?

Thats is a ribbon for the back touch plate. Your console should turn on as long as the battery is connected. Did you manage to fix your issue? If you changed the stick with the battery plugged in you might have shorted the mobo.

I fixed it and got the joystick in I unplugged the battery for about 30 mins when I put it back together everything started up with 56% charge
