I own a T43 (2668-CTO) that suffered a unfortunate encounter with a full cup of coffee a couple of years back. Long story short, the T43 runs great with the AC adapter connected. It also runs great on battery alone, but it's not capable of charging it. This makes it kinda hard to charge the battery...
Anyhow, I want to fix the problem, and after disassembling the laptop, I found some nasty stuff:

It's just south of the LCD connector. It got a nice crispy surface, but the circuits looks ok.
On the other side of the board, things are a little bit different:

The circuit that the red arrow is pointing at is completely blown. I can't find any markings on it... The blue arrow points to a (mosfet) circuit marked "TPC8111", and it appears to fine (no visual damage). The yellow arrow points to a unknown thingy, looks like a crystal oscillator of some sort.
Now, I wouldn't call myself an Solder Iron Knight, but I've successfully changed IC DAC:s on sound cards, so I believe I could fix this as well. What I'm looking for is the make/name/part number of the blown circuit and maybe even the crystal as well. If you have this information, or know where I could get hold of it, I would be most grateful.
