I own a split x2, but my screen is broken and my keyboard stopped working… is there a way this can be fixed??

The screen is working, however the keyboard portion is not powering up . The light is not coming on when the power supply is placed in it and the bottom of the keyboard gets very hot once plugged in. Help needed.
