I certainly don't think you need to restore the stock firmware; you just need to find a monitor that "behaves" well enough for you to get OE installed
I agree with what Matt says. If you don't have a displayport cable and two monitors your best bet is to try to find another monitor. You can also try timing the key presses right after boot. I have successfully turned on power and pressed [esc] once, then the number '2' and it has booted, even though I see nothing on the screen. I would try that and see what you get. May take a few tries though.
Thank you guys for your help. I tried 2 monitors and 1 TV. I also tried [esc] then [2] a lot of times. I'll try at the office tomorrow. If it fails i'll buy a display port cable and try that. I'll report.
Edit: I tried [esc] + [2] a few more times and it finally worked. Thanks again. I won't touch anything until the issue is resolved.
