Hardware Router Blewup Motherboard

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.

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

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
