Computer placed on an induction cooktop "Clac" and computer out of order

Good evening!
Here’s my story: I was in the process of following a recipe that I was looking at on my computer placed next to me (on the INDUCTION hob that was SWITCHED OFF!)
Then all of a sudden: Blue screen / Black screen / Blue screen then "clack," a little noise like a resistance had popped!
The induction hob is perfectly fine... My PC, not so much!
I then tried to turn it back on: Nothing
I tried plugging in the charger (battery light comes on): otherwise nothing!

I searched for this problem everywhere on the internet; apparently, no one cooks with their computer next to them on the stove...
I never would have imagined that even when off it could cause a short circuit... (now I do!)
So it's fine, I can take it; I have another computer... But I would really like to repair the other laptop (MSI GS63 7RD)

What would your diagnosis be?
What could have burnt out (Battery / Resistance / RAM / Motherboard / Graphics card / Process...?
Has this ever happened to any of you?

And above all, if I have something to tell you... Be careful with induction hobs when you’re cooking with your computer!

I’ve left my laptop with a technician, but I would have liked to know if this has happened to anyone else? Or if someone has an idea of the problem I might be facing!
Thank you!
Have a good evening!

    Hello,
    After scientific analysis and a push of your problem, my quantum computer gives me the following result:
    your computer was placed on an induction cooktop. Induction is a process that involves sending magnetic waves into nearby metallic parts. The energy lost in the process turns into heat.

    What probably happened is that the cooktop where you placed your PC was turned off, while the one where your pot was located was functioning. The waves propagated to your PC, frying an important component. You can probably recover your data (your "culture" folder will be saved), but there is a chance that you demagnetized your hard drive or SSD.

    Thank you for this analysis on the quantum computer!
    However, I had just started my recipe, so the plate was completely off!
    I will see what the computer scientist tells me! But it's good to have different opinions! ;)

      Hello,
      were all the switches turned off?
      Because if that's the case, it comes from somewhere else and it's going to be harder to diagnose.
      But given the information you provided us, the short circuit is the most likely cause.

    Maybe a magnetic wave passing underneath the plate continuously...? Or some kind of magnetism between the plate and the computer, I'm not really sure!
    And what do you think about a short circuit, what could that induce? The power supply? And is it repairable?
