Use a standard kitchen knife or something else that is blunt - you don't want to damage your motherboard. Also, don't force the battery out, just try and ease it out slowly.

Congratulations!
It really sucks that it was a faulty motherboard, but I'm glad you've got it sorted now. :)
@Boba - that could very well be the problem, in which case you are in a spot of bother... You could try getting a really cheap socket 775 Intel processor to try, and use that to flash the BIOS, but...
Well, you've tried pretty much everything else, so the motherboard is really the only thing left that could be wrong. Its really annoying when it happens, but it sounds like thats the problem now.
It could be a problem with your card. Try putting a CD into the drive, and listen to see whether it gets read or not.
