Tentatively speaking, No. I don't think so... The circuitry is designed for 5 volts, and the capacitance available throughout the device is so low almost no current would be available either.

In some thread here, jim bell wrote something like patched microwave oven can focus "energy" remotely. Does this method, if applied to desktop/laptop damages them remotely?
Inverse proportion. At microwave oven frequency wavelengths (redundancy?) the halving of power happens within inches, and inches, and inches. So... No. Put your laptop in the 'wave, and set to incinerate for a few milliseconds and it will no longer work though. Nor will the microwave oven. RR
