Question about 1999 Volvo S80
If its just a regular drive belt its impossible for this belt to "kick back" and bend a vale. However if this was a timing belt its quite possible to bend valves if it breaks. You problem could be a crank sensor that may have gotten damaged when this belt broke. If the crank sensor is damaged it won't send a reference signal to to computer therefore the vehicle would not have a spark to start. Godd Luck

just put a compression gauge on each cylinder that will let you know if engine has a bent valve, gauges are relatively cheap. if the belt didn't have anything to do with your timing belt i doubt you have a bent valve, any check engine light? do you have spark? fuel pump turning on when key is turned to on position?
