That's not the problem here, the problem is in the mobo I believe. So you should see if something is burned on the socket area of the mobo. Test if the fuse is good, if some IC controller is burned, or has a little hole in the middle, etc.

You can check continuity on the socket to see if one of the pin is unsoldered or broken too, but that would be rare.

He could try a third BD to make sure, but if the BD is "alive", then he has a problem in the socket of the mobo, or in the IC that controls the data between the BD and the mobo itself, simple as that.
