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

Degaussing only applies to CRT, not LCD displays.

I think you either fried something from the heat of the amp or something just fried by coincidence. My far out idea is that either way you are looking at a trip to the repair shop.
