iMac screen won't turn on

Hi, I have a imac 2011 model and right after I plugged in my blowdryer cord in the outlet, the cord sparked and all the power turned off.

We fixed the power, all of my devices are working except the iMac desktop. I turn on the power button, but the screen itself won't turn on (I can hear the fan running though... And my power bank is lighting up/recharging).

Keep in mind I'm using a windows wireless keyboard with having a ctrl button = windows icon button

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Use a wired keyboard, your wireless drivers do not get a chance to load. Then reset the PRAM on boot up. P, R option & command keys and allow to tone three times.

Didnt work.

As I hold down the power button and keys, I can hear it revving up then it stop revving after 5 seconds. My mouse and usb attached powerbank lights/charges though. Ahhh! I have 3 midterms and this is giving me a heart attack.

How could that spark from my blowdryer malfunction this $1,000 iMac??? Huhuhu
