Honestly, just tell her to unplug it, go make coffee or something (say it needs to "cool off" or whatever), and plug it back in. Letting the capacitors discharge is usually enough to fix 90% of problems, which is why phone techs tell you to turn it off, check some BS cables for about 30 seconds or so, and then turn it back on. It's not about the cables, it's about the capacitors.
