If Penny follows the traditional human body configuration (as is common for synths in fiction), her head would contain her hard drive, CPU, and other "brain" parts.. Her torso would have had power systems and the like; meaning her brain is in tact and she shut down because her battery was unplugged.

Sadly that's a lot of assumptions, but they are safe ones for a typical sci-fi/fantasy series.
