Oh, that makes a little more sense. I thought you meant he was walking with it and it got struck or something. oOo:

Anyway, I'm not a computer genious, but any kind of electricity is not good for your computer.

A friend and I were working on my computer once in my room and there was carpet on the floor which created static electricity which burnt my motherboard out. I had to buy a whole new one. Kinda shitty. So if your friends computer got zapped with 1.21 jiggawatts (heh, back to the future) I bet there is a lot of stuff wrong inside there. I wouldn't be suprised if the motherboard/cup was toast.

Take it in and get it looked at. The professionals will tell you what you need to replace, if not the entire unit.
