Spilled liquid on the motherboard?

No, screwed up BIOS.

Which reminds me, if someone has a cheap T410 motherboard for sale...

The bios can be fixed, it's not cheap... most places get almost $200, but on something like this it might be worth it.

This is slightly "off-topic", but when flash bios technology was introduced in the 90s, it was a major breakthrough, up until then you had to replace the chip to update your bios, or remove and reburn the chip, but what I'll never understand is why they didn't include a secondary chip, I'll call it xbios (eXtremely Basic Input Output System) so a machine with a corrputed bios can do one very simple task, which is boot to a cdrom disc that has a bios flash program to reload the bios. Making the bios so the machine can basically commit suicide if the burn fails is crazy. How much extra could it possibly cost to have a backup redundant bios either in the chip, or in a separate chip. I find it hard to believe they have been making these types of flashable bios chips for close to two decades and no one has thought of this yet.

*rant over*

ps. good luck with your sale, and n/c for the "bumb" lol
