    Pan TH-42PZ85U Lightning Hit

    I really have enjoyed reading on this site. This 42" plasma tv exibits the following symtoms after a lightning hit nearby
    1 Pluging in the power cord will result in a click, dull gray screen, fans run, a red led on each of three power supply boards
    2 Will turn off and on with power switch.
    3 Power light red (never any blinks).
    I have tried a Main Logic D Board with no change
    Anyone know this set?

    Service manual.

    If it took a lightning hit the problem could be almost anywhere. It would be hard to scrap such a new TV. Perhaps your homeowners insurance could ease the pain?

    For a number of reasons, both health and personal, I will no longer be active on this board. Any PMs asking for assistance will be ignored.

    Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

        HP EliteBook 840 G6 – no power after lightning strike
        by Bardou Kari
        Hi,
        I’m trying to fix an HP EliteBook 840 G6 that stopped working after a lightning storm.

        – Charger is OK and 19V is present at the motherboard.
        – No charging LED, no fan, no reaction.
        – I don’t see any 3.3V or 5V near the coils.
        – Battery is unplugged.
        – I’m new to board repair but can use a multimeter.

        I added a clear photo of the board.
        Any idea where to start or what to check next?
        Thanks a lot for your help!...

        Corsair RM650 ATX, possibly struck by lightning
        by Sam “Captain” W. C
        Just starting out in electronics repair and teaching myself as I go.
        I have here a Corsair RM650 ATX PSU, which I'm treating as a learning project that if successful may be used in my PC.
        Fuse was blown, probable power surge from lightning, followed the circuit and found, a dead relay and all the diodes and resistors around the bridge rectifier shorted. Rectifier and MOSFETs seem fine on the LCR.
        Also found these tiny diodes on the other side, a few shorted, the rest seem fine. But they're not all marked as Zener on the pcb. So I'm unsure what these should be replaced with....

        ElectroVoice ETX-18SP (powered Subwoofer) damaged after lightning strike
        by pfl
        Hello Everyone.
        This powerful amplified subwoofer doesn't make any sound after lightning striked near the house were it was plugged in.
        It consists in :
        • a power board were the full H bridge class D amplifier and main power rails are located
        • a preamp board (ref. F.01U.299.771) receiving 2 symetrical inputs(IN1, IN2), a digital chain (A-D converter -> Digital Signal Processor -> D-A converter) and a micro controler in charge (at least) of the human interface (lcd display and 1 rotating button)
        Power rails are ok.
        human interface is working fine
        Input levels are...

        17PW15-8 blows fuses after lightning
        by Sraros
        Hello,
        I picked this PSU 17PW15-8 from a friend's TV with a burnt fuse, after some days of rain and lightning strikes. The TV was on standby when it happened.
        With new fuses it burns them as well. I checked bridge rectifier, all the TO220 components, diodes and basic caps, replaced IC806 SMPS, and FETS driving the big transformer. I also isolated the secondary circuit by cutting the rails of the FETs to the primary coils. I don't know even know if that makes sense, but I did in hopes to isolate the problem.
        Any ideas what to look for?...
