I attempted to start my computer after the airport staff or someone else caused damage. The screen isn’t receiving a signal, but power is still reaching the components—lights and fans are active. The motherboard diagnostic shows errors, though my RAM and GPU appear to be in good condition and were properly seated. It’s possible the CPU is affected. I haven’t reinserted it yet because I can’t locate my screwdriver. The broken glass inside may have caused further issues. Would you like me to suggest some checks?

It seems a screwdriver got stuck inside the case and broke the glass. Likely your motherboard is damaged. I’ll need to reattach everything—cables, CPU, etc.—to confirm. If it looks worse than before, there’s probably hardware issues.
