Laptop shock then brick

[skylercolwell]

I have a Gigabyte P55Wv7-KL3 laptop. Today I went to use it and I brushed the keyboard with my hand and received a decent static shock. Immediately the laptop stopped responding to anything and it won’t shutdown with the power button. I unplugged it but that’s it so far. I know you’re supposed to take the battery out but I don’t have the tools for that.

Is there anything else I can do or is my laptop bricked

Edit: the disk drive still opens if that means anything

I suspect she is no longer with us. Can you easily remove the HDD/SSD to possibly save your files (assuming you don't have a backup)?

If I need to I can get the hard drive out. I’m really hoping for a solution though because I need this for school and I have no money

Moved to Laptop Tech Support section. Maybe another member will have an idea. When this shock occurred, was the AC adapter connected?

Yeah, it was plugged into the adapter. The adapter appears to be working, because the light on the brick still goes on when I plug into the wall
