Right. I once had a motherboard completely fried during a thunderstorm in London, back in the 90s. I always use good quality surge protectors for expensive kit now.
- globular-toast 1y agoI had a part of my mobo fried which I suspect was due to lightning. Lost the onboard ethernet and USB. Computer kept going for years after I added a PCI NIC and just lived without USB somehow (should have really got a PCI card too but I was extremely against spending money back then).
