Bari, can you spot which one is the "keyboard controller" which you said is usually the critical problem on getting LinuxBIOS to a laptop?
It may not be a problem. It all depends on if they use the controller for enabling writes to Flash. See how far you can get with replacing the BIOS.
In the URL above I have a list of all significantly-looking chips on the board. Can you spot anything which might be the keyboard controller?

Probably this 8-bit micro is used.

Off topic - the Toughbooks had great cases. I recall someone testing one a few years ago by shooting it at a basketball hoop and it landing on concrete and it still ran fine.
