Last night, I decided to clean up my PC (components, peripherals, board etc.). There was a lot of dust on the motherboard. Using an old toothbrush, I brushed away the dust.
I also realized there was some debris around the CMOS battery as well. Knowing it well that removing or reseating the battery resets all BIOS settings, I removed the battery, brushed away the dust around it, and placed it back. Now when I turn on my PC, it says:
"Please enter setup to recover BIOS setting.
Press F1 to Run SETUP."
The keyboard is completely unresponsive, pressing F1 does nothing, Ctrl+Alt+Del also not working.
Board: Asus P8H67-V.

Things that I have tried:
- Reset BIOS using the jumper to clear BIOS (i.e. from position 1,2 to 2,3)
- Tried using a USB to PS/2 converter
- Tried to power on without battery.
- Left PC unplugged, held power button for 20+ seconds.
- Tried all USB ports.
- Keyboard works perfectly fine on my laptop.
