Well i think you should now perform a reset.
There are two ways of resetting the device; your first recourse is a "soft" reset, which will restart the Tungsten's software while preserving all saved data. To perform a soft reset, begin by removing the stylus and turning the E2 over. Locate the small hole near the bottom of the back panel and insert the tip of the stylus. Use the stylus to press the internal reset button.
If a soft reset fails, you may need to perform a "hard" reset. This is a last resort, as a hard reset will wipe all saved data from the device (backup data may be restored via synchronization, however). To perform a hard reset, hold down the power button, then perform the same steps involved in doing a soft reset (release the power button when the "Palm" logo appears on the screen).

then for that case, your palm is faulty.. those are typical signs of a failing motherboard. try to have the unit opened and inspected for any water damage, have it cleaned inside with some fast dry liquid, then if possible, use a hot air blower and then reassemble. the fact that on inserting battery the light pops up indicates a short circuiting somewhere.

There is a little ribbon connector under the battery. It is all too easy (ie almost always happens) to knock it loose or just a bit sideways when replacing the battery. All you need to do is open the case again and lift the battery away. If you want you can disconnect it and remove. There should be two ribbon connectors one is for the digitizer screen and the other for the buttons/5way. Just press the release tabs on the side of the connector. Pull the cable out and then reinsert it. Now Lock the tabs back down to lock the cable in place. When you put the battery back in just be careful not to move or touch the cable (don't even look at them the wrong way or they will move ;-]).
It might take a few attempts to get it to behave as the ribbon cables are very prone to move and loose proper connection.
There is a very slight possibility that you damaged the main board with static electricity when changing the battery. That would require replacing the main board to fix. If you were careful this shouldn't have happened. I did have one that took about 5 tries with the cabled before it behaved, and I was about to say the board was damaged when I finally got the cables aligned properly. They are tricky but keep trying.
