Doubt its the ECU if he has no lights, radio or anything. I'd be double checking the main fusible links, battery terminals and possibly another battery

I checked the battery in my other car works fine i will take another look tomorrow and try a new computer and see what happens

Did your mate accidentally put the jumper leads on the wrong way around?

Again, computer is not to blame if you get nothing - no radio, lights etc like you said. If your sure the battery is ok, then double check all fuses including the fusible links in engine bay

Probably just fizzed the terminals, lift them off and give them a good scrub with a wire brush, and clean the battery posts with emery paper.
