That is not a CMOS battery problem. When you power on, do you hear/see the fans
rotate? Does an indicator light up on the keyboard? Do you hear zero, one or more
than one beeps when you power up? If so, then you have power to motherboard. Problem
may be video card not properly seated or bad connection in cable between video and
monitor - especially check no pins are bent in the plug which fits to the VGA card.
Is the fan working on the CPU?
If you can't say yes to above questions, then it may be CPU is not properly seated.
And there can be other reasons which others may recall.
