Possible Lightning Strike	Can't Post

Hi,
I have a Philips 32" PFL that's about 1 year old. I had a lightning strike close by which took out my dsl modem and fax and possibly my TV. I get the amber power light when plugged in (stand by I guess) then when I press the power button the blue light comes on for a second the reverts back to the flashing amber. I checked the fuse next to where the ac power comes in and checked out fine. Is there anything else I can check before I take it to the shop?
All help appreciated.
Thanks

Check diode D608 and D600 on power supply board.

Also you said it is approx. 1 year old, check to see if it is still under warranty. Most of the sets sold around then came with a 1 year warranty (don't mention the lightning strike to anyone).
This symptom would be very had do determine if it was lightning or a common fault that would be covered under warranty -- Dan
