My Hp (Pavilion Tx 1000 Tablet PC) had some Gpu issues! They asked 23k for MoBo replacement LOL.
A local dealer was selling original MoBo (refurb maybe) for 5k few years ago

my lappy screen had some problem..hp ppl quoted 15K plus fitting charges...I paid local dealer 6k and I had a original hp screen along with bill and warranty..all are same man..even dell..thats how these big companies make money on services..
DO you guys think that LAN port can be repaired? coz I am sure if i Go to HP ppl, those ppl wont even look at it and will tell me to change motherboard..Local dealers will first see then he will figure it out that one resistor is burnt and fix it and then will tell me that he had to change something something and will charge me more..and those guys dont even allow us inside when they are working on it.
yup I have that port in my lappy..I saw it in ebay..asked a seller also whether it will work with CAT5 or not..he said he have no idea..it will be on my risk.
These are costly..but definitely btr than usb to ethernet adapter..

No surge protector gives 100% protection. It may prevent something, but against lightning- no. In all honesty, you should have gone wi-fi.

Well, fortunately your lappy's mobo didn't fried.
Hmm...true..but wifi used to give less speed..and sometimes pinging problem..so used LAN port..
seriously man..I was lucky in that case..if mobo had gone then had to buy a new lappy only..again big investment.

I lost a laptop and a modem to lightning..
F**k the rain :/
You can use USB2Ethernet or PCMCIA2Ethernet cards..
They are available everywhere, just take a look around..
Use ebay if you cant find

I had bought usb2ethernet..but it disconnects every few seconds..dunno whether loose connection or it cant take the load or something..and i googled this problem and came to know that it is very common in usb2ethernet..
now only PCMCIA2ethernet is the only option..will be ordering today itself..atleast will try it..
But can LAN port be repaired? It is in same main circuit of mobo ryt..

No, service centers rarely repair issues like these...
Maybe if you are lucky, they might replace the Mobo but if not, you are out of luck

Got a replacement for my wireless router..Today also thunderstorm started..so I switched off the switch..but forgot to pull the plug.within few seconds
sme shitty thunderstorm hit near my place and I lost my 2TB hard disk..new replaced wireless router.. JBL speakers and all USB ports,HDMI,firewire,memory card slot of my lappy but dunno how motherboard survived and laptop is working fine!!!
Tell me if it is not my bad luck!
Had collected so many stuffs on that 2TB HDD..lost everything within a second. btw all the plugs were connected to 2 surge protectors..but still they couldnt protect them

You have to replace the PCB of the HDD, IMO. So get hold of some repair guys who do that in your city.
just now checked online and came to know that warranty is still there..will be going to seagate service centre in few mins. but i really want the data..they might replace it with a new one..but i really wanted data from the hard drive..

They will charge you a Boeing 747 for 2TB data retrieval! Better look locally to restore data before getting a certified repaired HDD from seagate as replacement.
gave the hard drive to seagate ppl..they said replacement if all condition for replacment under warranty is valid..but all data is lost..cant do anything now..
regarding laptop, new IC has to be installed...just a temp solution..wont change whole motherboard..
speakers are also to be repaired..dunno whether they are repairable or not

You must be joking right? If you had turned off switch keeping adapter plugged...theres no way thunderstorm can damage something in your pc...sound like your smps is giving bad supply...also belkin gives lifetime warranty on power adapters.
Moreover you can sue belkin if it has not protected against surge.
