    So A Bolt Of Lightning Hit My House Last Night...

    It totally fried my Sky Plus box and now today I finally come to my office to work and my PC is fucked. My modem was plugged into my computer via usb and its fried all my USB ports.

    I just called Dell to see what I could do to get this fixed, waiting on them getting back to me.

    This sucks balls, my house insurance will cover the damage but I just hope it doesn't take too long to get things fixed.

      You can get surge protection for cable, when I moved to Florida, I bought all new supression to prevent just that type of problem.

      Of course, that doesn't help you now.

      Good luck on a speedy recovery!

                      Nah no pics, but man the lightning was crazy. Fun to watch... or at least it was till I heard a huge bang then all power to my house went out.

                                          My main machine is connect directly to my modem via USB. Then my LAN from my modem is connected to my Wireless router.

                                                              I probably live in the flatest area in my town LOL

                                                              I have no idea how it happened, but I just had to go buy a PCI card to get my desktop computer working again. Still need to get it fixed properly. Dell are onto it tho, should be done pretty soon!

This happened to my Dad, lightening hit the AT&T Broadband cable thing and his hard drive died just a few days after they thought everything was fixed. Better safe than sorry.
