    Sansui SV-EPD-4240BP

    Was struck by lightning - December 24, 2011.
    Insurance wants a report if to pay.
    Set has power and sound but no screen.
    Y and Z boards seem to have power, too.
    Heat sinks get warm.
    I have no diagram.
    I inspected it to see if it would be a minor fault.
    Should I report it as uncertain or uneconomical to repair and charge the customer for labour?

      Repair of equipment that was the victim of a lightning strike is always highly uncertain. I'd report it as uneconomical to repair due to lack of troubleshooting information and parts availablility - Sansui seems to be no longer producing HDTVs.

      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?...
