Unfortunatly your friend got ripped off. It is difficult, but possible, to recover in every instance I've encountered (at least a dozen) of the osx no-firmware update problem. The most sucessful way to recover is to completely reset the logic board and boot from a fresh os 9 hard drive. For some reason it's not a consistent fix however, and it can take many tries over a couple days (weird, i know). Unfortunately, some apple stores are less than honest or competent and like to throw hardware at the problem.
I don't think that's the problem Justin's having from his description, this is likely a power related problem possibly due to a failed hard drive controller or analog/video board.
