What you suggest is possible. ALOM is alive while the system is powered off. You can signon to ALOM and then use the "poweron" command to apply power to box. But there is also a power button. If this guy has been working on two dead V240's for a full week, I would assume that he is applying power. If not, then I would certainly recommend powering the system on as the very next thing to try.
