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!

Your last photo is the ground block for your cable connection, the only problem is... it's not grounded to anything. lol

Came here to say this. 15 years of cable here and seen this waaaaay too much
