Possibly he uses a television as his monitor, but the HDMI (or VGA if it's old enough) connection isn't working (and if he's like me, he might not own an antenna to allow him to use his television normally).  If I plug a second monitor into my laptop, I have to specifically tell my laptop to change the display.  If his operating system is messed up, he probably can't even do that.  He could be downloading a OS CD so that he can reformat, then he may have to deal with the follow-up of reinstalling all relevant drivers.
