Hello! I encountered a serious issue with my laptop's motherboard after leaving the battery connected while I worked on the thermal paste. I considered upgrading to a new PC and thought about using the SSD from my old laptop, but I was worried it could harm the new system. During the short circuit, there was a spark between the CPU and the battery, and after plugging in the charger, another spark appeared along with some smoke, though the device didn’t work. My concern is whether inserting the laptop's NVMe SSD into the new PC could cause damage to its motherboard.

It should be okay. In the worst scenario, the SSD won't function.
