I would most likely not try replacing the cmos battery until all else fail
Most likely not fried. Try this:
01_Shut down power
02_Disconnect power plug from the computer
03_Unconnect everything: keyboard, mouse, any USB connected items such as
printers, scanners, speakers or other externally connected item
(so that nothing is connected to the computer at all!
04_After about 5 minutes, reconnect power, keyboard and mouse.
05_Power on computer
