I made a really wrong move by altering a BIOS setting without understanding its purpose (probably related to overclocking, I can't recall). After saving and exiting, the system didn’t respond and my motherboard’s RGB wasn’t visible. I looked into it and found that resetting the CMOS usually fixes the issue. I tried removing the battery for half a minute and reinserting it, but that didn’t help. I also attempted to short the reset CMOS pins, though it had no impact. The CPU model is Ryzen 5 5600X with a Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite AX V2.

Disconnect the power source and extend the battery life.

Attempted the fix, but nothing changed. The fans linked to the motherboard aren't showing RGB and aren't rotating.

Page 20 of your guide outlines two methods to remove CMOS. If these don't succeed, consider rebooting the system and re-flashing the BIOS.
