Kim,
I had a nearby hit about 20' away on my neighbors tree. The strong EM
field blew a fuse in my Argosy but that was the only
failure. The field was so strong that it scrambled the brain of a
little battery operated travel alarm clock sitting nearby.
All antennas were disconnected.
I'd check with T-T service dept before I sent it in.

Well, it finally found me...
Around noon or so a thunderstrom formed very fast almost overhead.
Antennas were disconnected, but had a very close strike near my 60 m
Force 12 Sigma 80 vertpcal dipole. I don't think it was a direct
hit. Anyway, heard a sound like a firecracker in the shack. Went in
and smelled the evidence of an arc, but no electronic smell.
Computer was dead and the OII won't boot. Only the meter lights come
on. It's packed up and ready for autopsy at TT. Good thing I have insurance.
I found two arc-detecting breakers tripped in the panel and one
standard breaker tripped. GFIs are OK so far. Also lost a switch for
the home network, but all else seems OK so far. I suspect the MB on
the computer, since the PS checks OK but nothing happens when it's
plugged into the MB. I pulled all the PCI cards, the video card, and
finally the CPU and memory and it still won't post or even generate
the diagnostic beeps.
I unplugged evrything from the OII and tried the standard reset: No
joy. I can't remember the super duper reset, but I should probably
try tyat before I ship it off. WHat's that sequence?
