[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1901279, member: 46727"] Welcome to our forums. You have a generous friend. That was an expensive computer when new in 2017 and still sells quite well as used. It's difficult to say what might be the problem with it not turning on, but from your short description above, it could very well be a failed power supply. Or, it could be another component in the power chain that got zapped or overloaded during the thunderstorm. I wonder if your friend was using an UPS to connect the iMac Pro to? Certainly would be the thing to do with an expensive computer like that to protect it. If you're handy with tools and can find your way around the computer, go to [URL="http://www.ifixit.com"]www.ifixit.com[/URL] and see what they have for troubleshooting. Or, you can always take it to Apple and let them diagnose it. Of course that might be expensive since that machine is no longer under warranty. [/QUOTE]
