HDMI 1 and now 2 do not work, lightning strike

[lreeder28]

Can my HD tv be fixed? After the lightning strike near my house, heard a snap, and the tv has no signal now...this is the second time, in Sept a storm took out my HDMI 1, and now HDMI 2 is gone! Is there any hope of fixing it?

No, if it is fried it is fried. You should use surge protectors. Sorry 🙁

You could try replacing the board that the inputs are on. If you have homeowners insurance try to collect on that. I have seen this before and surge suppressors on the AC alone would not help. You would need one on the cable/ antenna input of the cable box or RF input to the TV.
Get one that does AC and the RF line.
