Came home after a family party Saturday nite and my outdoor LEDs garden lights and TV were dead.
HDMI on TV no longer worked. so switched to VGA ok. TV was connected to digital tuner on Ethernet was connected to rooftop antenna.
Then today laser network printer was locked up, and it wasn't even connected to router, but a POR reset worked. Swapped out laptop charger in basement to power garden LEDs, which are ok now.
So I asked son in law if there was any lightning while we were away as there was rain where we were.
He said "big time" really close.
that confirmed my suspicions.
