Amplifier fried laptop what can I Do ? Any ideas?

I put my son's PowerbookG4 Laptop on top of my Amp and left it overnight with the Amps power on
The dispay no longer works.

I can login blind but there is no finder just out of wack lines.

Do you think a degauser would help or just make it worse.
do you think replacing the logic board is necessary
any ideas no matter how farout will be entertained

We were able to move the contents of the drive to a new Macbook.

Merry Christmas

The wacked out lines sounds like the mother board. Have you tried hooking it up to an external display and see if the computer works?

Stupid question I guess, but you didn't by any chance buy the Apple Warranty did you? If yes, they will replace whatever is wrong 100% for free and service is LITERALLY overnight.

My 17" PowerBook failed and unlike the 3 weeks for my son's new HP laptop, Apple had my machine exactly one day. They even sent a box via Bax global and paid overnight shipping BOTH ways.
