Bedbugs In A Laptop, How High Temp ?

This is all I got, I cannot afford a new one. I can't work because of my eyesight but it isn't quite enough to give me disability, even though I would not be able to run a cash register now.
Anyway, we got hit with bedbugs. Two schools got closed over it. It was an epidemic or whatever.
Anyway, my laptop is infested. I have researched and found that when exposed to temperatures of 135 F for like 45 minutes it kills them and their eggs. The government and the companies who do this assure us that this is safe. It probably is if not running.
I just checked the oven, the lowest it will go is 170 F. Is that safe for a non, running (at the time) computer ? Could it damage the screen if by nothing else but expansion and contraction ?
We are about to bring in new matress and whatever, but anything happening to this laptop IS NOT AN OPTION.
I know bedbugs need to breathe. If you were to place your laptop in a
plastic bag with a chuck of dry ice, let the dry ice sublimate and
fill the bag with CO2, then seal it in for a week or so, maybe that
would kill 'em.
