is there any way it hurt the motherboard possibly?

G'day,
I would suggest to bring your IBM & the charger to a local electrical store and ask for a generic/compatible charger. Plug it in and see if you can start the unit.
If the unit starts, then you can say your thank you prayer and purchase the new charger.
If it does not starts, then make an excuse to the salesperson for not buying the new charger, go home and contact IBM support to fix your laptop, since it is very obvious that the electrical discharge has fried your motherboard as well.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

My T21 is a P3 800. i became taking under consideration repairing mine because I have 2 docking stations and spare drives. What u . s . a . are you in? i'm in South Africa. in case you want to promote your pc then drop me a line. possibly i visit fix yours utilising mine as spares and deliver you decrease back your files. That way we both win.
