Why in the world would you put a polyester blanket on your motherboard?

This is going to depend on several things. If he rubbed it causing a static build up then yes it may have damaged the board. Ultimately though the only way to know for sure is test it.

Static is a strange thing. What you might get away with a 100 times in poor handling practices can come back to bite you when you least expect it.

Hope it's alright. Good luck
