Lenovo Thinkpad T540P/T440P - Power Cycles ? (NM-A131)

[Acnologia]

Hello to all,

Laptop that was turning on ,after liquid damage into the keyboard section, cleaned the traces chips etc. without any problem, it started again , swapped keyboard, all went fine.

It had SVP password, so i tried to autopatch the tool, to remove the password and started power cycle.
I had backed up the original bios dump ,and restored it on it. but now it refused to turn on.

You see power light, fan spin , and as soon as it spins, it shuts and restarts again.

Don't know where to start checking...
