There will be a pin hole type hole somewhere, usually on the back. If you get a pin and push that in gently for a few seconds that reboots it without powering down. The PC sometimes prefers that.

Don't fuck about with pins, just pull the power cable out and leave it for a little while, plug it back in, job done!

I just had to do mine tonight but I think it was a fault in the area!

He hasn't been back since, perhaps he's still got it switched off?
