![]() ![]() Lightning strike took out all HDMI inputs on my ground floor that had a cable connected, whether powered on or not. ![]() ![]() The TV's are fine and were just using AVI right now. After doing some testing and screwing around we figured that the HDMI cables are no longer working. But anyway 2 TV's were on but lost input when the lightning struck. Last night we had lightning strike our house or extremely close to the house, not exactly sure yet. Please email me personal information blasted into a million rainbows. lighting came in through the directv and fried the dvr and the tv 50'' panasonic. Now I am in the market for a surge protector that includes a coaxial input. After talking with local TV repair shops, I estimated it would have cost me over $450 and loss of my TV for over a week. I bought it online from ShopJimmy for $150, got it a week later and installed it myself. ![]() I paid $17 and correctly got the part number I needed. I googled for Panasonic repair and found a web site that offered TV repairman answers to your questions. My belief is that whatever charge the lightning generated somehow traveled through my DirecTV dish, passed through both the DirecTV receiver box and my AV receiver and landed on my 50" Panasonic plasma HDMI board. Just thought I'd add my experience for others who have had their HDMI ports blow out due to a nearby lightning strike. ![]()
