    So what you are actually saying is, it won't work with a non Virgin SIM?
    In which case he's not bricked it, he's just failed to unlock it.
    If so, go back and ask him to do it properly, or give you your £15 back.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    My mobile cannot be unlocked by codes so I bought a little circuit board that fit's between the phone & the SIM which unlocked it from the BT network,cost me £5.
