Hi, I've changed my CMOS battery on the motherboard. But I
forgot to write down the CMOS settings. Now It gives me a blank
screen, nothing at all even the logo. What can I do now to
bring it back to work. Thanks in advance

Hi Jerry... What model number are we talking about here? Even having
the wrong CMOS (BIOS) settings shouldn't dump the display, unless
you have more than one video card installed. In that case, the one
built into the motherboard is probably running by default. If you
think this is a possibility, swap the video plug until Windows boots
up. Then change the default display.




Cheers!
