Hello,
OK no problem. Your system has onboard video, and a video card.
For now I will assume that your monitor is connected to the video card. If so, unplug the system and remove the video card. At the same time remove the motherboard battery for 15Mins. Replace the motherboard battery, do 'not' reinstall the video card. Close the system and plug your monitor into the video connector on the back of the system.
Restart and tell us if you now have an image on your monitor.

Hello,
What is your model number? And, do you know if you have the video on the motherboard?
