Hello

First thing to do is check the fuses and fusable links, the fusable links are actaully wires that connect to the battery positive cable. They act as fuses but the wire inside the insulation burns in half. If the battery was connected backwards these should blow before damage happens. But if they didn, t you may have damage to the computer. Hope this helps.
