Is my Motherboard dead?

my friend and i were trying to get the heat sink of my processor. he decided to try and pry it with a screw driver (i wasnt watching at this point) and slipped hitting the motherboard with the screw driver .
Anyway there was no mark left it seems but when we put the heat sink back on and started it up the computer screen now does not start up. Not even bios is shown. The computer runs normally (fans running etc) and its not the monitor.
Is there a way of checking if it is dead without testing out other processors on it etc?
I removed the ram and started it but the mobo didnt bleep. To be honest though i dont know if it would have done had it been working and i had done the same.
