Dell desktop computer no video @ bootup

I took cover off of my dell to blow out dust bunnies inside and now there is no video at bootup! Prior to this everything worked fine!

No beeps no video nothing

I can't see how blowing out the "PILES" of dust could disable the on-board video card!!

Static electricity took the onboard video chips out??? That's a stretch considering it was humid as hell out!

I can't even see bios to make changes absolutely NOTHING is displayed from time power is pressed!

Is it just coincidence that this has happened after blowing out dust or did some dust block the connection in vga port?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
