If still no go, then take the motherboard out and set it on a piece of cardboard or some other non-conductive surface and try and power it up. If it works, put it back and try again following the same steps as above. If it doesn't work, take the processor off and try. If it works, the processor is probably gone, if it doesn't work, the motherboard is probably gone.

Thanks, I'll try that.
In the case that it doesnt work, it's pretty much set that it's the motherboard. I believe the processor is an AMD Athlon XP 2000+. So would they be able to just buy another motherboard, and use the same processor, and all the parts?
