While there is a possibility that he's taken the covers off without
proper precautions against static electricity and fried the controller
in a way that say, ties an IRQ active or something, I'm guessing that
he's simply not used to the boot sequence and where it hangs is a bit
past the BIOS.
And, as we know about people who are trained to work on MSWindows,
they are trained not to fix anything that's too hard. Time is money,
etc.

Be careful where you see conspiracy.
Look first in your own heart.
