Mistake between Motherboard and CPU

DONT BE LIKE ME

I recently bought a Gigabyte A520M KV2 but before I read that it was compatible with my current CPU (Ryzen 5 4500) and when I built it there was no display even though everything looked fine.

After like 4 hours of searching and trying, I read again the compatibility, and turns out I didnt read properly that the motherboard is compatible with Ryzen 5 4000G series, and my CPU is not. Time to cry I guess.

If you are a casual pc gamer dont be like me, always read and re-read the compatibility.

Is there a way to update the bios to read my cpu? My friend has one that is compatible if its possible to update it, I have a tight budget so I dont think buying either of those components is possible for now.
