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.....

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.
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
The make of the mother board is ASUS and its a Z170 Pro Gaming motherboard. Again, sorry for the long delay.
No need to be sorry we all have to work
We only keep asking because we have a lot of people that just disappear
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.
Update: I tried to reset the bios like instructions said, still not able to get anything on the screen. I also removed the graphics card and took it out of it's "case" could not see any burnt/popped capacitors or anything like that.....cleaned the connector with pencil eraser, then re-installed.
Ok we don't know the cpu full specs but try this. We do not know if your cpu supports on board graphics
remove graphics card and attach monitor to onboard graphics
After bios reset are the fans still spinning at max

A development; I took out the graphics card and installed a VGA to HDMI adapter, turned on computer and got the boot screen went to exit screen I got error msg: PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable. Will try to attach files of screen pics
