Hello, I own an Acer Nitro 5 and had it in my bag when scanning it through the luggage scanner. I’m concerned about whether those rays could harm my laptop. Will it affect the hard drive, charger, speakers, or anything else? I’m a bit worried—please let me know what to do.

They usually don't have any photosensitive components, which means no harm can occur...

Given how many laptops pass through airport scanners daily... this shouldn't be a concern. But your laptop should definitely be in your carry-on. Items can easily vanish from checked baggage.
