did my laptop short circuit? If so what do I do?

2012-10-18 5:36 am
I went to reach for my USB mouse and accidently grabbed the power cord for my computer and went to plug it in, ending up putting it into my USB slot by mistake and now my computer screen went black and it won't power on. The little light still comes on when I plug the power supply into where it's supposed to go indicating that its receiving electricity, but turning the power on still does nothing. Did I end up short-circuiting my computer or simply caused it to overheat? If I did, what can I do to fix this? (Computer does have warranty but I'm worried I'll lose my harddrive)
