Italian Job Fruit Machine - help with repair needed

A mate of mine has an Italian Job fruit machine that is no longer working. His lad switched the power on and off while it was booting up. Does anyone know what the fault is likely to be? All green power LEDs are working including on two of the boards. Failing that, can anyone recommend an engineer who might do a home visit. He's in Bedfordshire.
thanks

switch on and off during intitalising shouldn't break it.
they don't "boot up" like a pc, the machine intialises and runs some tests.
what happens when you power on?

Thanks for your reply. The PSU has all leds lit. What I think is the main board (has EPROMS on it) has 3l green leds lit - not the reset. The board on the top (has labels marked 'LED's, POWER, REFILL Meter etc. has the green power led lit, another board which has the '£25 cash' label also has the green led lit. Other than that, nothing happens at all. There is a slight hiss from the speaker.
He told me that it was working fine until his boy switched the power on and off several times, so I'm assuming that was the cause of the problem.
