Monitor on standby, after replacing motherboard battery?

[amz003]

please help,

I replaced the small mother board battery, and when I now turn the pc on, the monitor goes on standby, the power is on, and the pc bleeps 3 times and then nothing happens.

PLEASE PLEASE HELP?

Sounds like you might have dislodged something when you replaced the battery. Open the case and make sure your video card (and everything else) is properly seated.

the way its in may not be right try it the other way.  Also, post what unit it is.

checked the graphics card

I take it that graphics is not integrated then.
Does it have integrated graphics?
Reason I ask is I'm thinking maybe resetting the BIOS by removing the battery changed the graphics output back to default/integrated/factory. Now if you still have your monitor plugged in to the add-in graphics card - it's not getting a signal. If this is the case, try plugging the monitor into the integrated graphics just to get it back up and running.

Reseat your ram,....make sure all connectors from front panel are attached  to motherboard header pins

what???  This is a dell unless he changed it that I doubt there fine.  since this is a dell there will be a light code on the back wich can be used to figure out what is wrong.
