Shorted power to the motherboard

I have a Compaq, Anyway I was repairing the power supply and my 3 year old came up and well, I accidentally crossed the wires shorting out the power supply while connected to the laptop. Anyway the power supply still works but when i metered the power imput to the laptop it showed it was connected. SO the + is connected to the - inside the laptop, does this call for a new motherboard or just components. Thanks Tim

Well I put a lot into this laptop and spent like 2000 for it new, I saw i can get used laptop boards for around 100$ I doubt a new laptop could be had of this quality for 100$. Believe it or not I am a technician. I should just not repair stuff around my 3 year old next time.

This really did not answer my question at all. "buy a new one" is not an answer. But thanks.
