[Tron] What would happen if the digitizing laser zapped the computer itself?

We see in Tron and Tron Legacy that there is a special laser that can zap physical objects, erasing them from the real world and creating an exact digital copy in the computer (and can perform the reverse action as well).  What would happen if this laser were pointed at the computer that it uses to store these digital copies?

The Grid only exists inside the computer - it has no physical existence beyond data in a computer system.  If the computer system is not available to run the Grid, the Grid vanishes.  'Moving' the computer to the Grid would shut the Grid down as the computer moved, just like turning off the computer system would shut down the Grid (and for the exact same reasons).
