Hi! Your friend’s computer issue sounds tricky. It seems like the device might have been left plugged in after shutdown, which can cause problems. Have you tried unplugging it completely and waiting a few minutes before trying again? Also, make sure the power outlet is working properly. If he still can’t turn it on, checking the power supply connection or testing with another device could help. Let me know if you need more ideas!

I encountered the same issue but simply toggled the PSU switch on and off, and it functioned properly afterward.

Taking out the coin cell battery from the motherboard could assist. Also, unplugging the 24-pin and 8-pin power connections from the board may help.

I also believed it would function similarly, but it didn't.

As Fasauceome mentioned, removing and swapping the coin cell in the motherboard works. If your board includes CMOS pins, you can also disable them.
