I accidentally disabled the integrated graphics in my BIOS settings, and since I only have integrated graphics and no dedicated graphics card, I can't see anything on my screens to change it back. I've tried taking out the CMOS battery for 10-20 minutes twice and have even flashbacked my BIOS, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone know how I can change BIOS settings without a visual display?

Just to be sure, did you unplug your PC, remove the battery, and hold down the power button for about 5 seconds? Sometimes, a proper power cycle is needed to fully reset the BIOS. If your motherboard has pins labeled CLR_CMOS or RESET_CMOS, try shorting those out after disconnecting everything. If that still doesn't work, consider using a bootable USB drive to flash a new BIOS version. It might just do the trick for you!
You might want to check if your motherboard has a BIOS reset jumper. If you can locate it, bridging the jumper usually allows you to reset the BIOS to its default settings. Once it's reset, you should be able to boot up and change your settings back. After you're done, don't forget to return the jumper to its original position!
