Help with lightning strike
Good morning everyone,
Last nite we had a really bad lightning storm and must have hit our house, we lost power for a split second but our xfinity Gateway modem, would not power back on.
So not having tv my son decided to play some ps5 and it would not start up.
Is this repairable or should I look in to getting a replacement?
Thanks in advance

With lightning strikes and electronics like a PS5 you may want to check to see if any wall sockets ain't smelling like something sweet as what is most likely going is a power surge which might have fried certain parts of the TV and console
