I think "Electrolytic capacitors in the power supply" should be step 
three, after "Turn it off and back on again" and "Is it definitely 
plugged in."

These three things will fix almost every computer problem :-)

PS - In the instant case, I think it probably *is* electrolytic 
capacitors in the power supply.  I'm sure they've turned it off and on 
several times, and if it wasn't plugged in they wouldn't see the flash 
of the loading screen.
