Never ever have only a single computer ready. You need a fallback to get access to help/interne and create Boot-sticks with it, just in case your primary device breaks . (doesn't matter weather Linux, BSD, Windows, Mac...)
My main one broke, the cursor and keyboard stopped responding and startup repair can't be activated without the cursor and or keyboard. All I have is my backup, and it's a piece of shit compared to the other that is admittedly quite old by now. I've a phone too.
Are you able to get a usb mouse and keyboard to plug in?
I sometimes wonder how people like these can go through life.
