You could update the firmware with either the standard flavor or something like DD-WRT. That might fix it.

I see nothing about Motherboard info.
I'm not sure about Sound Card
Ports :(3) USB 2.0, (1) HDMI, (1) VGA, (1) Headphone out, (1) Microphone in, (1) Ethernet LAN

•Fast Wi-Fi wireless and wired Gigabit Ethernet networking
•HDMI output
•Kensington lock slot
I have no idea what all this actually means
Well, if you want to destroy it, buy some black powder and fuse and watch it disappear.
