The monitor is:
1) Not plugged into the computer (if you think it is, unplug and plug back in)
2) Plugged in incorrectly to the computer (unplug and try again)
3) The graphics card in your friend's computers is shot and s/he needs a new one.

There are a couple of other less common things that could be wrong, but check through that list first.

Good luck!
