computer reset on 1988 efi 300 inline 6

so i think i blew my computer i was working on the truck and my buddy thought it be a good idea to see if it still ran with the terminals disconnected from the battery . the truck immediatly shut down . it hasnt run since , ive replaced fuel pumps and alternator everything seems good spark etc, is there a way i can reset my computer or did my idiot buddy fry it for good ?

You are not going to get very good advice if you keep starting new threads on your "no start" situation. This is at least your 3rd thread. Every time you open a new one, we all lose continuity.
