Maybe it had nothing to do with lightning, customers always want something
to blame it on. Check or replace the degauss thermistor and check for bad
solder. Monitor the degauss current or place a 60 watt light bulb accross
the degauss plug (with the coil unplugged). It should light brightly, then
gradually go dim in a couple seconds. Also check the degauss coil for
continuity. If it was a surge from lightning, The coil could be open.
Sonys draw a very large degauss current.
