It's possible, wombatman, but there are toher possibilities as well.
First, since you were in there mucking about, something COULD'VE been knocked around. If the computer POSTs, you shoudl get a single beep/chirp. If you don't it very well may NOT be starting up. Most drives will do a quick read/position check when they first get power. That doesn't mean anything except that they're getting power (which doesn't come through the mobo anyhow). I would remove ALL cards and just have the video card, memory and CPU in there and power it up to see if you get signal. You can also try removing and reseating all of those components. Also, you can try taking the board OUT of the case and doing the same to verify nothign got knocked behind the board that might be shorting it out. If that all fails, then yeah, it may very well be the board.
