It made him a bit angry and it was not a firmware problem according to Apple.
There were a bunch of 27 inch I-Macs which had this problem several years ago
and he may have purchased one of these faulty I-Macs. Never the less, if he had
the Apple Care which he paid for at the time of purchase from Ebay, this
problem would have been taken care of.
