Check that all cables to the motherboard are plugged in properly - you may have bumped something loose while cleaning.

Vacuuming can sometimes cause static electricity to build up on the board, so it is possible you have damaged or killed your motherboard. Is it giving a post code (either LED display or beep code)?

The lights blink tho idk if its a beep code as i have no idea what that is

Motherboards will often give error codes if they are unable to turn on. Newer motherboards use LED displays to show numbers, typically 2 numbers, that will correspond with an error code that will give more information about why the computer is unable to turn on. Older motherboard will use a small speaker that will give a series of beeps short and long, similar to morse, that will relate to certain errors.

If you're not hearing any beeping when you turn it on, try looking at your motherboard when you turn it on for a section with 2 flashing numbers.

It's possible that it may not be able to give any post codes if it is really damaged, but if it is able to give codes it may help us diagnose the issue for you. We will also need to know what brand and preferably also what model of motherboard you own. The brand and model will be written on the board.

its the static electricity generated that's the problem, not the suction itself

What brand and model is the motherboard?
Different manufacturers and different boards can have different codes.

Depending on the nozzle and grounding, a vacuum cleaner can get charged with static electricity and discharge on a component. It's not that easy to kill components with ESD, though:

I'd make sure there's no displaced/unplugged cable or RAM stick first.

Just a tip: Forget the vacuum. You can have a Dyson in your hands, and it won't do close to a good job  at cleaning what matters. You really need a can of compressed air, or those electronic blow (but they very loud, and cost a lot more. But they are safe for the environment, and unlimited air and continuous blowing air power). If you just do it once or twice per year type of thing, stick with the air can. Also much quieter. If you do it often, and many PCs, then PERHAPS those electric ones might be interesting, all depending on your budget. You can vacuum after, as you'll have dust all over your room now, and it will eventually go back in your PC if you do nothing. Beside all that dust in the air is not very good for you.
