Locked bios, took apart to find CMOS. Display now D/C. Tips? $$?
I accidentally locked myself out with a Bios password. Dissassembled carefullybhopong to find a CMOS battery to reset but didn’t. Now, the screen doesn’t function as something was bumped (but keyboard works, all ports work- external display is fine etc.)
Any tips on fixing this? How much would it cost if I’m lazy? Im sure a lead to the display is just astray. No trauma.
Update (10/15/2020)
Being $200 when I bought it, I'm not looking to spend $100 to repair something simple :(
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Thank you guys SO much. I’m an idiot. My last self repair was such a breeze.
Now I just gotta find out if there is a cmos battery to reset the bios.. I too on it about entirely apart afaik…. If there’s no cmos battery can you even reset a locked bios password? Having trouble finding This out
but I can’t thank you enough for even providing me all this info! You really are awesome.
right to repair ftw
