Here's the Optiplex 780 manual.

I would try swapping the front I/O panel from the 780. You should be able to make that swap work. The 780 is basicallly a 760 with DDR3 support added.
If you installed the new motherboard battery the BIOS would be rest to default. The Opti 780 has a UEFI BIOS. There may have been some legacy mode settings turned on, that got lost during the reset. I would get your hardware all back to the 780 configuration and ask at Dell Community Forum for help with that specific sytem. They don't get involved with warranty or tech support charges like Dell Support does...
