I think you blew a SMD fuse by dropping the screw.

Unfortunately Yes, Next time don't do a mistake like this.

😭okay thanks for the answer, would that be the reason why absolutely nothing is working though? I’m not that into computers but figured unless the charging thing is broken at least that led light would turn on

Can you give a clearer picture of the ic (black chips) where you dropped the screw. It will help to verify if you didn't blow up your Power ic too.

Sounds like the motherboard was fried when the screw was dropped. Any sort of electric shock especially where components fry when it happens can potentially get anything else connected to them. Most likely it fried everything connected. Whenever working on any computer laptop or desktop make sure they are not connected to power and in the case of laptops make sure the battery is unplugged. Otherwise this happens, also keep in mind most manufacturers will not warranty a device that was broken in this way. If you tell them something different and they find that out they will most likely void the warranty and tell you to kick rocks.

A short can destroy literally anything. This is next to the battery connection so likely the area where a bunch of the power supply circuitry is.

Otherwise this happens, I would also suggest possibly not telling the manufacturer that it was fried because you opened it up and tried replacing the HDD, most manufacturers will not warranty a device that was broken in this way. If they find that out they will most likely void the warranty and tell you to kick rocks.

Ok

Warranty is there to cover manufacturing defects, not user mistakes. That would be insurance if you took one.

 

Don't suggest/encourage fraud.

… so I could try get it fixed under warranty without saying anything? Kinda figured they realise 

I mean, you could just essentially say it doesn't work. Which it doesn't. But if it very clearly has signs of you opening it up then they may realize it. It's really up to you to tell them or not, just know that they will most likely void the warranty if they find out. I've never had this sort of issue, and I personally would just pay to have it fixed or replaced if I broke it. It's up to you but, yeah... it is technically fraud to lie about it.

Well I could technically just not mention it but I’ll just suck it up, I misread the post

Merged into the existing thread, you can edit the title if you want it more relevant.

Can you clarify if it is the SSD or WiFi card that is heating up?

 

Also, if you remove the component that is heating up, can you at least get to the bios?

Sorry it’s mostly the WiFi card, I forgot to edit it. I already just unplugged it though so it’s fine
