Yeah I live in florida. Its just not feasible, this time of year we get thunderstorms daily after 2pm.
I put UPS systems on the expensive stuff and just let it ride.
Its happened before too. So not my first rodeo. When my daughter was born lightning hit my actual house directly, like melted my grounding rods hit, piuctures fell off the wall and shit. My iphone at the time wasnt even plugged in, just sitting ont he table but it blew out the wifi and bluetooth chips… I probably lost more in that one. Homeowners covered the loss there though. The insurance situation in Florida is in need of some government regulation to step the fuck in these days. I have to keep my deductible at like 10k now just to have coverage.
I’ve honestly considered asking that Louis Rossman guy to see if he can fix the 3060. I would bet it’s some rando voltage regulator chip on the 3060 board that he may be able to solder. Once the claim with APC is done I was going to see if he would even give it a look. Worst case he tosses it for me.
Aw hell man…your story is the reason why I unplug all my expensive items whenever there’s a thunderstorm.
