[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 972730, member: 24098"] Was it plugged into a surge suppressor (commonly known as a "power strip")? It's really hard to say, but in my experience, lightning strikes often only damage the power supply. In the iMac, the power supply is built into the machine itself, so regardless of the extent of the damage, it would need to be opened and inspected to make a more certain diagnosis. By the way, if you own your home and have Homeowner's insurance, it may cover the damage or replace the entire machine. [/QUOTE]
