I had that same exact issue ... it turned out the hard drive needed to be replaced Hope this isn't the case, but you should at least look into it first thing. Start her computer up and go into BIOS .. F10 or F12 when the PC is booting up Then go into the settings and see if you can locate her hard drive. If it is just a black screen with the white text "No operating system was found" then you might have a bigger problem. The good news is that you could just buy a hard drive and replace it yourself for pretty damn cheap. and I would suggest the 32 bit for that laptop by the way.
