Dell Inspiron 1470 stuck on blinking cursor after battery replacement

I recently replaced the battery in a Dell Inspiron 1470 and when I turn it on it shows the Dell logo then it goes to a black screen with a blinking underscore character in the top left. What’s happening and how do I make my laptop boot again?
