Default f150 jump start and computer games

Hi, advise is needed in regards jump starting and the possible effects on the computer?
Well the short story is; my neiughbour sends truck (89 F150) to machanic to fix it for a fuel pump problem. Gets truck back, it goes, but is using petrol like there,s no tomorrow. Sends truck to a different guy, he said the trucks been jump started wiith straight leads, that is with on surge protector, he said the computers stuffed. Theres $500+.

First question; Is this true. can a jump start stuff a computer?

Q 2. If its stuffed, why can,t it just be rebooted?

Thanks for any help.

Mick
