I don’t think that a surge would cause something like that, it seems like more of a hardware defect. if a continuous supply of power is needed, then it would make sense for a surge to fry the laptop (actually with newer parts and technology, even power surges are HIGHLY unlikely to damage your computers). But since the laptop uses a battery as the actual source of power, and the DC wall outlet to power the battery, it shouldn’t make a difference.
