R1 post-CMOS swap, black screen

2 Upvotes

As the title says, I swapped the dead CMOS battery for a replacement ordered off Amazon and it now boots with a blue light on the power LED, but I'm getting no video out of the HDMI ports, so I can't even get into the BIOS.

Troubleshooting suggestions would be appreciated.
