Usually this is a hard drive bus failure - disconnect the hard drive. What happens then?

Sounds like the person broke the monitor connector and damaged the system board.

Thanks for the help but.....   Disconnected the hard drive and still same combination.   This all started when she had the drive come up as not mountable.   I had her bring it to my house and my wife said when she was removing everything  she pulled on the video cable and it was still attached.   Now that area is kinda buldging in the back. I cant see if she broke anything because its under the parallell port.   I thought maybe the light combination would tell me something.
