Lightning Strike

[Ragingbull612]

About 2 months ago there was a hellacious lightning strike near the house, house wasn’t hit but it took out my flat screen t.v… the computer was ok, ( but all the cooling fans were on high and unable to shutdown/off) then one day no picture. The red hard drive light at top of computer wasn’t flickering like it normally did, so onto YouTube and suggested fix was to replace hard drive pcb which I did, but still no picture ( or red hard drive light flickering) could it be graphics card, or hard drive motor or?..Please help, thanks…

the computer

A lot of different computers out and about
Any information as to what kind of computer it is ?
If a brand name like Dell or Hp then make and model number + serial number
If not brand name then make and model of motherboard

It’s a Cyberpower desktop. 1TB Western Digital HD ASUS GTX 960-OC-4GD5 graphics card.

ouTube and suggested fix was to replace hard drive pcb

I assume you mean the little drive board that sits on the HDD.
Did you desolder the required chips off the old board and replace them on the new board.
Where did you get the new pcb from.
Was it an exact match.
Do you still have the old board.

Unplug the power supply from the wall socket
open the case and check the motherboard for blown or rasied capicitors

Cyberpower number not needed

No need to be sorry we all have to work
We only keep asking because we have a lot of people that just disappear

If no blown caps lets try a reset
Power off first

You still have not answered this question

[Ragingbull612]

Ooops, sorry, yes the drive board on the hard drive. I didn’t unsolder anything, just replaced it with an exact match. Got the board from Amazon: MakerEPartsUS. The part # 2060-800039-001 was an exact match. I still have the old board.

Try the cmos reset first
do not forget POWER OFF before reset
Have a look at this
