Hey the battery on my motherboard was removed then put
right back in thinking it would reset the bios on the
board. But now when i turn the computer on it does
nothing. Nothing come on the screen, its like my monitor
isnt even detecting my machine. Is there anyway to get my
motherboard working again. Motherboard is an old amd k7
model (year 1999), running windows xp. any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated. thx.
