He may have activated the alarm system which will cause a no start condition. Cycle the key in the door to lock and unlock several times. That should correct it. If he shorted something I would start checking fuses. Start with the fuel pump fuse then check them ALL if it still has an issue.

Check your regulator in the engine bay. Good?

When you disconnect the battery, short the posative and negative cables together for 5 minutes. Then reconnect the battery and try to start it. If this doesn't work, the car will have to be scanned with Vida at a Volvo dealer or an independant shop that has Vida.

Unplug the relay under the dash this will save you a lot headache. The relay is the black box that looks out of place in the mist of the wires. Unplug the side closest to the steering wheel.
Check battery voltage could have lowered voltage below what is required to crank starter. Do this have someone jump you or if u have a jump pack connect it and try to start car if it starts you will be running off the pack. If this happens charge battery. Starters take a lot of power to activate. I have seen batteries go below the proper voltage to start vehicle but still allow the lights to work.
could have blown the starter relay or fuse
