Solved! Lightning strike - LG 65OLED

[ophilu]

My LG 55OLED has been hit by a lightning strike. The lightning struck the telephone wires and came into the TV via the Router to the Ethernet Port. The TV red standby light is still on but the TV doesnt boot up. Ive been over the mainboard with a magnifying glass and it looks fine. Is it possible the mainboard is blown but I just can't see it? Or should I be looking somewhere else for damage?

It is possible that you won't see any visible damage. Hopefully your home owners insurance will cover it.
The lightning can also enter the TV over HDMI. When this happens the TV usually comes on but no picture or sound.

Hi, there. Did you ever find a fix? I just had a lightning surge kill my 65b7 and like yours all I have is the standby light. Not sure where the surge entered. I haven't pulled the back yet. What's strange is the set powered up normally once but after turning it off it wouldn't again.
