Was he using it on a flat service or on a pillow, lap, etc.?
If it quit do to heat, it should start up again once it's cooled down. That said, I did trash a Newer G3 processor when it overheated.
Do you get a green light or nothing at all?
If you decide to mail it off, send it to a Mac place like DT&T (Calif.)or TekServe(NY)

Running on AC in a Newer BookEndz dock my max temp is 158F. Interware G3/320 processor. My stock 603e use to hit 180F+.
I have an old PB 2400c with Mac OS 9.1 installed and
80MB of RAM and one hour of average battery life.
Lately, my nephew have been playing games with it a
lot. Twice last week, the PB would suddenly shut down
without warning in the middle of a game. Last Friday,
after the nephew played 3 hours (with the AC adaptor)
plugged in and the thing went dead for good. Since
then, I couldn't get it to power up again. I tried
everything from pressing the reset button at the back
to removing the battery and not use it overnight but
to no avail.
