Dont bother reflashing the BIOS if you havent done so allready. Im a computer engineer and work for several major companies here in the UK. I see this daily, you said you put anew battery in that had plenty of charge? did you put the same rating battery in there same voltage. If not and its higher voltage you could of fried the bios or caused it to become unstable.

The issue you presently have is either of 2 things, Processor failure, or Motherboard Bios failure, generally you would have to take the bios out and put it into a flash cartridge, now you haven't got one soo your best bet would be to buy a new bios for that make board! What make board is it anyhow....

If the processor is fried or has died for what ever reason you will not get a Post beep at all. If the Bios has fried or has died you will also not get a post beep. The 2 have to be working to get a beep of any type if you dont then theres a big issue with one of the 2.

If it never done this before and has done it since you put the new battery in then you may have put the bios in wrong! it is locked or key locked meanign it cant go in the wrong way around but it may not be sitting properly also ensure the writing is facing upwards as the chip can actually go in upside down on some boards
