Not knowing your system specs try this:

By having to change the battery your CMOS setting have probably been set back to its default setting so try to enter your BIOS (depending on your motherboard by hitting the Delete, F2 or F10 button) and enable the Legacy USB Support or USB Keyboard option and any other option needed (date & time, Boot Order ect).


Hope that helps

Take a look at this page HERE and let us know if this is what you see when you enter bios. If so you need to go into the Advanced Area and then to the Peripheral Configuration where you will find the settings Alzeimer posted. :thumbsup:
