Hello All,
All I get now is one long beep, and nothing, just a blank screen. I
switched out the video card, Ram, and disconnected all peripherals, still
no boot. Can get to BIOS.

Powering up with the "clear cmos" jumper set in that position shouldn't
make any difference, BUT, after clearing the cmos you must of course go
straight nack into cmos and check and adjust settings, and particularly,
auto-detect hard-disk, or set it to "auto" - so that the correct hd
geometry is set before you next boot up ! (hoping that it'll match the
previous geometry!)
...depending on the board, you may want to disable RAID, if you're using
IDE hard-disk/s, ...you may want to disable USB mouse and keyboard
support if you're using PS2 versions, you may want to set printer support
to something higher than SPP (strandard parallel port),
If present you may want to switch off an onboard sound chip if you've got
a pci sound card plugged in, ...and you may want to set AGP as the first
palce for the bios to look for a graphics card if you've got an AGP
graphics card plugged in, ...then there's settings for the frontside bus
speed, and memory SPD etc.....
...turn off LAN if it's on your mobo and you're not using a network .....
...why did I start to answer this post !!!???
....mmm and lost of other things !
regards, Richard

My son set the jumper to clear the CMOS and powered up the computer
before putting the jumpers in the normal position. Now it won't boot. Is
the board dead or is there a remedy?

See http://www.pcguide.com/ref/mbsys/bios/set/index.htm for advice/info on
setting up your BIOS properly. You particularly might want to *carefully and
completely* read the section on "IDE Device Setup/Autodetection." If you have a
system that doesn't support autodetection (or if autodetection is hidden and you
can't find it) -- and your son didn't write down all of the BIOS settings before
clearing them -- you'll have to get the disk setup info from the pc
manufacturer. Alternatively, the info required for manually setting BIOS to
recognize hard drives is often printed on the hard drive case itself. You'll
almost certainly have to pull the drive out of the computer in order to be able
to read it.
This site also has a section on troubleshooting BIOS beep codes
