820-2936 Won't boot from any source

[bjf]

I have an 820-2936 that was supposedly spilled on but the board looks untouched. It might have just hit the keyboard/trackpad. Either way, it won't boot from anything, internal drive or USB. It just goes to the question mark folder. No idea where to start with this. Any thoughts what might be causing this?

Does it want to do a PRAM reset? USB working? Checked with mouse?

So, mouse lights up, but no, PRAM is not working.

Try a donor BIOS. Don't lose the old one!

I assume you disconnected everything to rule that out.
