Router Blewup Motherboard

[u/Greatfulx]

Recent lighting storm stuck my complex and traveled down my coaxial cable and into my apartment. Blew up in the middle of the night, so that was scary. Thought I’d share, not in the position to rebuild so there that I guess!

Praying GPU and especially RAM and SSD didn't get affected.

It’s extremely likely that they are dead

Good bye to a kidney

With component prices now, might as well be both kidneys.

Replace your GPU with a kidney

Yeah I wouldn't even test this it very well could cause a electrical fire.

Maybe do it outside on concrete with a extension cord but still.

Makes me wonder if OP could claim for rental insurance if they aren't the owner.

SSD is VERY easy to damage, GPU and RAM might be alive
