The second last Apple Hardware Test link is for a PowrBook G4. Download it by clicking on the Download Now link in blue. When download is nfinished, drag the .dmg file from your Download folder to the Desktop.

Open up Disk Utility and drag the .dmg file to the left hand column of Disk Utility. Pop in a CD and hit the burn button. it will be bootable by holding down 'C' after the chime with the disc in. Run extended test which checks out the logic board, memory, modem, graphics etc.

He can't get to the Desktop to run anything, nor has any install discs.
