I accidentally pressed the BIOS Flashback button on the I/O panel of my Asus ROG Strix Z690-F, and now my monitor is not detecting any signal. The screen went black and after a few minutes, I restarted my PC, but that didn't help at all. I even tried switching from DisplayPort to HDMI and reset the CMOS by removing the battery, but nothing seems to work. I've read suggestions about reinstalling the BIOS, but I can't do that without a working monitor. Does anyone have any advice on what I can do?

Seems odd that pressing that button would cause such a problem. Have you tried different ports on your graphics card? Maybe it’s an issue unrelated to the button press entirely.
What exactly were you doing when you pressed the button? Sometimes other factors can contribute to issues like this. Trying to remember what might’ve changed right before the problem could help narrow things down.
Accidentally hitting that button shouldn't have affected your monitor unless you had a BIOS file on a USB plugged in. It sounds more like a different issue is at play here. Try some basic troubleshooting, like unplugging everything and then starting up again, or checking if the monitor works with another PC.
