[QUOTE="Family_Dog, post: 1024275, member: 82"] Lightning has been my downfall over the past four years, last year being the exception. Induced EMF from a nearby lightning strike is enough to take out HDMI ports. Unplugging HDMI cables both side would probably prevent this happening but it can create other problems if not handled carefully and with the gear being physically unplugged from the AC mains first. In my case Insurance took care of it but I do have a bit of complex about claiming. I have probably had about 6 claims all in over the years because of this, even to a PC that was not plugged in anywhere. -F_D [/QUOTE]
