SOURCE: lightning strike and tv picture messed up

This unit needs to be sent or taken in to a service center for complete testing and service. The lightning strike has caused a component failure, in the main board of the television. This is the board that controls all the functions of the television. The customer service telephone number for Insignia is 1-877-467-4289. You can also go to the website www.insignia-products.com. Go to the customer support section and ask them for help getting you television evaluated and serviced. I hope this information helps you solve your problem.

Hello, I have a Samsung LN52B630 TV that quit working...noticeably after a confirmed lightning strike nearby.

Screen coming on when the main plug is removed is normal, that happens on most TV's...Are the spots that have no volts supposed to have voltage? there is a legend on the board to tell what voltages belong no what pin, check that

Which circuit board on my Smart TV might be broken after a possible lightning strike. There are two main ones. The power is getting to the unit, but I can't get the menus, connections etc to work.

Nobody can predict, what might have been happened to your TV after a lightning strike. Do you thing anybody can? Is any technician have a super-natural power to predict the faults that might have been happened due to lightning (More than 10 Million volts to start on stroke) ? Can you?
Sorry.
Contact the authorized service center. OK?

Will a nearby lightning strike cause a power board failure?

It could happen yes it would depend where the strike entered the TV. Not all lighting strikes hit on the electrical lines, on a TV they can come through the cable, as well as a antenna if you have one hooked up.

AOC Envision L32w761 TV. Lightning strike. Now nothing. Power light won't come on. Checked power to the Power Supply board and have it fine. Replaced TV and everything in the system looks OK. Bad TV...

If you are certain you have a lightning surge, almost anything can take down your TV. First check the obvious, do you have power coming out of the wall. Is the surge protector good, if you used one? If you have answered yes to the these questions, you may have acquired a power surge in your TV. You may not find it in your TV. As I have said it may be anywhere in the TV. You will need to take this TV to an authorized service center. It would be difficult for anyone out side a technician to find the problem. Thanks for asking and show all hands of support!

Our hp printer j4680c took a lightning strike. We replaced the power adapter but when we plug it into the printer the light goes out on the adapter. Is there anything else we can try? The unit doesn't...

This sounds as if it has shorted out the main power board inside the printer. Some small TV Repair shops handle out of warranty printer repairs, but will charge considerably for this. Unless your willing to pull it apart it would be more economical to replace the printer. But ask around, someone may be willing to give you a quote, and this should be weighed against the cost of a replacement
Unfortunately with lightning strikes the amount of power surging up the line can destroy many components inside the printer,and not much can be done from the outside.
Sorry it was not the answer your looking for, but lightning is a electrical devices worst enemy!!
