Hardware failure. There is no way to tell from your post which
component(s). Here are general hardware troubleshooting steps:

Testing hardware failures often involves swapping out suspected parts
with known-good parts. Unless you or your friend are experienced in
hardware troubleshooting, have her take the machine to a professional
computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigStoreUSA).
