specs of the computer?
My first idea would be to remove the CMOS battery for about a minute or so. This will reset the computer, and chances are it'll boot up after this. I've done it to mine quite a few times.

This is what you should look for on your motherboard. Pinch the metal release to the plastic shield, and it should pop out

bit like this

I think that is the battery to work time and date....

it stores modified BIOS settings and also assists with clearing old boot saves (recent sleep states). Make sure you turn off and unplug the power when you do it!

your forgetting to tell him to unplug it when doing that unless I am totally missing it.
