We had some bad storms come through our area last night and our Vbox7 got zapped by lightning. You could feel it in the air - even had a battery operated electronic music box start playing all by itself. I always disconnect everything when storms are approaching but this one snuck up on me. I managed to unplug the receiver and disconnect the coax to it and unplug the Vbox7 before I didn't feel safe touching the wires anymore. After the storms passed I hooked the receiver back up and the Vbox7 was dead - no indicators on the display at all, not even the decimal that is always lit when it's plugged in. I took the top off today to have a look. There is no visible damage and no burnt smell. I checked the fuse (ok) and the transformer (ok). The board in these does not look that complicated and there's no surface mount devices. I do have a spare in the basement but I'd really like to fix this one if I can. Maybe it's not even possible as I haven't checked to see if parts are availble. Any ideas where to start or is it a lost cause? Thanks!
