Ok. Let's try the Boot2 maintenance menu then :

• hold the 3 keys
• without releasing them, press and release the reset button on the back
• if the calculator doesn't turn back on automatically, still without releasing the 3 keys, press , 2 times in a row if necessary
• once the screen turned back on, you may release all keys

After the progress reaches ~50%, you should get a menu (or a complaint about the battery). Do you get it ?

It doenst turn on unless i realease the reset button
Btw that is the keyboard E right?

Oh, sorry for the typo.
The right combo is

Same thing, even if i press the On button twice it doesnt turn on, only if I realease the reset , and if i release it it goes back to the same screen

And you have to release the reset button, yes, but at the right moment, step #2 :

That was how I was doing it, just one thing the calculator turns on as soon as i give it power is that normal?

Yes, it is.
Does it reach 60% immediately, or does it take some seconds ?

1 or 2 seconds max

Should I try anything else?

Since the 60% take 1-2 seconds, it seems the calculator is freezing in the Boot2.
And if you still have a runable Boot2, then the maintenance menu should work.

My guess is that you're doing something wrong with the key combo.
And let's hope so, because if the maintenance menu doesn't work, then I'm sorry but there is no software-way of doing anything.
