I was in the middle of fixing some loose screws on my laptop when I accidentally dropped one onto the motherboard. I didn't unplug the battery first and saw a few tiny sparks. Now, my laptop won't turn on at all. Do you think a repair shop would be able to rescue it?

It really depends on where the screw landed and the damage it caused. Repair shops will usually charge for the labor, and on top of that, you might find the cost of repairs is close to getting a new motherboard. Just keep that in mind when deciding if it’s worth it.
They can likely fix it or replace the board. The real question is if it’s financially worth it, which will depend on how old your laptop is and its specifications. If it holds good value, a repair might make sense.
Looking at where the screw fell, it seems like your laptop could use a good cleaning too! Just a heads up, a messy environment can lead to other issues down the line.
