Ants got inside my Lenovo laptop, now it won’t turn on. Need help urgently

Guys please help. For many days ants were getting inside my laptop. Yesterday I shut it down properly and kept it aside because I was scared they might cause some issue internally. Laptop was working completely fine at that time.

Today when I tried turning it on, it suddenly powered on by itself once and then shut down. Now it’s completely dead and not opening at all. I’m also getting a slight burnt/electrical smell sometimes.

I have Lenovo Accidental Damage Protection/Warranty. Does something like insect damage or short circuit usually get covered? Has anyone faced this before?

What should I do right now?

Should I avoid charging/turning it on again?

Can service center repair this properly?

Any chance motherboard got shorted because of ants?

Really stressed because I have exams too. Any guidance would help.
