Punch on the keyboard of my PC

Hello,
After raging, I hit my PC keyboard hard without realizing it ... The PC turned off after the shock, and just after I turned it on: the Dell logo appears on the screen and everything (does that mean the screen is still working?). But right after, the screen stays black (it's on but nothing appears), no mouse cursor or anything at all!

Help me, I just want to know what part was affected or damaged.

Configuration: iPhone

    try with another keyboard but it is very possible that the hard drive is affected (short circuit of the keyboard)

      What do you mean I'm trying with another keyboard? I have a laptop..
      Otherwise, how much does the hard drive cost? I have a Dell HP 630.

      Hi,
      Unfortunately, on a laptop, all the components are located under the keyboard: hard drive, RAM, motherboard, power supply... basically everything.
      It's necessary to see which one is damaged and to what extent, so you should go to a store where they can open it and check.
      With a completely black screen like that, it seems to smell pretty bad.

        Does that mean my PC is dead? No, it can't be possible!!

      It is indeed possible,
      The Dell logo proves that the screen works, but a black screen with nothing at all could indicate a dead motherboard or graphics card. If it were just the HDD or RAM, you wouldn't have a black screen but some messages like "hard disk not found," stuff like that. Now, the problem is that there could be several damaged components. Moreover, on recent laptops, the processor is soldered to the motherboard, so if it needs to be replaced, you'll also have to buy that, and these are the two most expensive components in a laptop.
      Really, it's impossible to say like that; I can only advise you to get an estimate in a store, clearly explaining what happened… sorry.

    Excuse me, I am not Madame Irma and in my crystal ball, I did not see that this was a laptop
    a PC is not made to be typed on!
    you have the references of the PC, check online. As for knowing what is broken, ask Irma

      I apologize for not specifying the type of PC.

    Otherwise, what do you think I should do? The problem is that the screen is displaying the Dell logo, which means the screen is not completely black; it works, so the problem is not with the display or I don't know what...

      In my opinion, you should go to the repair shop. You must have surely broken the motherboard. You have nothing left but your eyes to cry.
      From now on, you will learn that it's useless to hit a laptop keyboard!

      That's what I think too, at least the motherboard.
      And indeed, an excellent lesson in mastering oneself and controlling one's anger ;)
