Default 99 accord Change ECU, can I do it by myself??

hi, guys, long story short. I shorted some metal legs when changing my main relay. Now, my CEL light does not come on when I turn the key to "on". I figured my ECU proberly gone...
is it something I can do by myself or have my mechanic do it. or it's a dealer only job? since I'm afraid they need to program it. I can buy some used one on ebay for 150$, really dont wanna to be ripped off by dealers.
thx, guys

UPDATE: it turned out that it was my ACG fuse blown. changed the fuse, and I'm back on the road......
I thought I checked all ECU related fuse. but somehow missed this one.
