compaq presario sr1503wm

my friend tried to restore his computer using the system recovery restore and now everytime he trns the computer on the compaq screen shows up then it goes straight to a black screen and he said he left that black screen on overnight to see if it would do anything but still nothing. any ideas how to fix it? he has none of his cd's either..

Can he get it up in safe mode ?

If so he should be able to use another restore point.
