i assume you don't have another video card laying around (PCI or AGP) that
you could use to test the Intel board?

I am surprised nobody has metioned this yet. You have an i850G chipset.
This means you have an integrated video controller. By changing the battery
out, you have reset the BIOS settings which default back to the integrated
video card. Try connecting the monitor to the other video source

and of course, you're right, that was also the first thing i thought of, but
being unfamiliar with the D850GB, i looked it up on the Intel site to see if
it had integrated video, which it does not

doh!
btw, you don't need video card installed, just cpu, ram in bank0, and floppy
drive to restore the BIOS bootblock.

if the BIOS recovery mode doesn't work, then there's something wrong with
the board. remove it from the enclosure, flip it over and carefully inspect
the bottom for shorted pins, broken circuit traces, flecks of
debris/conductive material, use alcohol to clean if necessary. rest the
board on non-conductive, antistatic surface, remove cpu and ram and other
peripheral hardware from the board, inspect them carefully for damage.

start over, plugin CPU, make sure it's properly seated and locked. do the
same for the RAM, bank0 only (2modules). don't reassemble the board inside
the enclosure just yet. either remove the power supply and floppy drive
from the enclosure or flip on its side, close enough so that the power
supply leads and floppy cable will plug into the mainboard. check
everything over (at least twice), connections all good, no stray conductive
materials to cause a short, etc. start her/him up.

i assume you've tested all peripheral hardware, cpu, ram, video, etc in
another machine (mainboard)?

tip - the antistatic bag that the mainboard was packaged in would make a
good antistatic surface to rest the board on while it's being worked-on
outside of the enclosure.

look fool, do NOT put words in my mouth, i did not imply for a millisecond
that nathan was "dumb" (YOU said that, NOT me). furthermore, i would not
say any such thing about Nathan, as i've read many of his articles, he,
unlike yourself, is one of the few who do NOT say dumb things. if you had
read more carefully, instead of nitpicking about newsgroup etiquette, you
would have seen that i agreed with Nathan's assertion about the onboard
video, and i merely followed-up with a correction about the D850GB. i think
Nathan is SMART enough to figure that out on his own, and doesn't need
persnickety pricks like you to hit-n-run on a discussion thread without
contributing anything of value.

Before this post turns into WWIII

I am used to Intel Chipsets such as i865G being their integrated
graphincs. I simply assumed it was 850G for the chipset. This was MY
fault for not looking this up first before posting.

As for francis, he did exactly what I would have done. The two posts
were seperated and I would have followed up both of them just as he did.
As for this from francis' thread: "furthermore, i would not
say any such thing about Nathan, as i've read many of his articles, he,
unlike yourself, is one of the few who do NOT say dumb things.". I have
had my moments of stupidity. We are all allowed those moments

To Tom, thanks for defending me. It is always great to know that others
respect my opinions as well as those of others (especially the MVP's who
try their hardest to provide consistent help). I really enjoy the level
of intelligence and willingness to help that is so easily seen
throughout these newsgroups.

Sorry I didn't repsond earlier to this post, but I was at work all day
and just got home

you're not following the entire discussion... go to the source of the
thread, at the top, starting with the original query from 'TheBladeRoden',
expand all the threads... you will see that there are lots of helpful
followups from me. i count 7 articles from myself, not including the
followups to nathan and this bullsh*t with you! that makes at least 10
followups from me in this discussion thread.

look, it's your problem that you can't follow a newsgroup discussion... and
this bitching and banter is useless. you've added your 2cents worth
(literally), now ****-off if you can't say or add anything useful. i'm
tired of your idiocy.
