Acer Aspire only boots on the first time after being plugged in

The laptop has a broken screen and no battery, but when powering on the first time after I plug it in I can confirm that the laptop boots. However, If I then switch it off and on via the power button, the laptop no longer boots/the screen stays dark. The amount of time between powering the laptop off/on via the button is irrelevant, the issue occurs nonetheless.

The LED lights on the laptop still go on and I can still hear the fan working, but it will only properly boot if I take out the charger and plug it in again. I unfortunately don’t have a replacement battery as of right now but I am working on procuring one. Any ideas?
