guys, i desperately need ur help
few days ago, there was a thunderstorm and it happened to fried both my computers' ethernet port, both my computer was on (was switched off before i went out, powered up by lightning, is this even possible?) both had errors.
okay after i restarted it, everything was fine except the ethernet ports. none were detected (device manager doesnt show)
my question is,
1. how to check if other hardware is affected?
2. i do not want to wait until something fails only to find out about it =(
Additional info,
1. my computer is fairly new (less than 6 months) and it's under warranty, the motherboard's ethernet port is screwed (i probably change the motherboard with warranty)
2. no burnt smell that i notice of. ( i assume the lightning goes in thru the router and reach my computer, but my modem is fine - using unifi, fibre optics can get zapped? )
Strike by lighting, i bet 90% chance that it cant be warranty(most warranty sure exclude burn and lightning). Another 10% is you somehow to "tipu" them that it is like that, not by lightning.few days ago, there was a thunderstorm and it happened to fried both my computers' ethernet port, both my computer was on (was switched off before i went out, powered up by lightning, is this even possible?) both had errors.
