I think i may have fried my motherboard

[justchrisd]

I have an z97 gaming 3 msi motherboard and while trying to clear the cmos (i had forgotten my bios pass) i did so using a screwdriver instead of a jumper (not included with mobo) during that process the power may have been on. I tried to turn my pc on wich only resulted in a blue light on the mobo flikkering. And no start of the pc whatsoever.
(I have also tried taking out the mobo battery for 10 min wich didnt work either).
So now im stuck with a pc that wont start, could it be that the motherboard is fried?

Edit*(i have tried start up without gpu and seperately without ram sticks to no avail).

turn the pc off and remove the power cable from your psu.

than lift this battery out of your motherboard for 2min, reverse and it should boot.

The psu or the motherboard?
Since nothing powers on except for the blue light on the motherboard.
