Can anyone explain the logic in this?
Yesterday afternoon we had a lightning and thunderstorm in the area. Just outside at the time we heard a loud pop and it sounded bad close. I assumed at the time lightning hit something close then, but at the time it never dawned on me what it may have hit. We usually don't watch tv much in the daytime, but at night my wife loves to watch the Justice ch on 97w.
So last night she went to turn the tv on but it wouldn't come on. She then asked me to see if I could figure out why. The tv and the MicroHD is plugged into one of those cheap power strips you might plug a computer into it, and that the powerstrip red light was still on. Then I discovered the MicroHD was no longer coming on either. So I tried both the lcd tv and MicroHD in another wall outlet, not using the power strip this time. Still neither would come on.
Here's where the logic isn't making sense. As to my Cband dish I have the motor hooked up to the 4dtv 922 and that that is plugged into a different outlet altogether. The 922 is still working fine and still moves the dish.
The C1-PLL is directly connected to the MicroHD. Putting two and two together then, the loud pop we heard outside must have been a direct hit to the LNBF. But looking at the LNBF, not a mark on it anywhere. It doesn't make sense if it took a direct hit how it then looks like nothing happened to it at all. And it also doesn't make sense how this lightning hit apparently fried the MicroHD and tv, but didn't also fry the power strip these were plugged into it, not to mention, didn't affect the 4dtv either. And on top of that, we never heard any pops in the house. I took the 2 screws out of the bottom of the MicroHD to look inside. Nothing appears to be burnt or melted or anything.
So what is the logic in this then? The way it also got the tv, I'm assuming is because the HDMI cable was connected to it at the time through the MicroHD.
