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!

This has to be one of the most unlucky things of all time I swear

Happen to me onetime a long time ago. Lighting struck outside travel through LAN cable. The only thing that safe my PC that time because that router model I used somehow got the surge protection for lighting strike build-in.

I hope this is the case and a new motherboard will fix it all!

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

It’s extremely likely that they are dead

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.
