Dont think so as they could not use any option. Else I would have suggested the same..

If it still won't boot, it's either the bios has become corrupeted, or the m/board is knackered.

Took out the battery for 6.5 hours, after booting up again we could get in the BIOS again and PC seems to work again.

Thanks guys :-)
