PW2 Broken screen- How to know motherboard is broken or not?

Hey everyone!

My PW's screen got broken after I accidentally put my elbow on it. It doesn't show anything but a small part of the wallpaper.

When I do hard reset, it enters in a boot-cycle and it doesn't end for around 10 min. I understand it from the light that goes and off repeatedly.
Also, my computer doesn't recognize it when plugged in (tested the cable and the usb slot with a friend's kindle).

My question is:
How can I understand whether the motherboard is problematic as well, before I replace the screen???

If I won't be able to revive it with a screen replacement, it is then time to keep the bezel and the battery and trash the rest.

Any suggestion/info is very much appreciated!
Merry Christmas!
