Tnx all. The surge was a overvoltage surge (I had several wall
transformers burn-out on other equipment).


The power company should pay for replacements or your homeowner's insurance.


Power company possibly, if they were at fault (i.e. not lightning, act
of god, car crashing into a pole, etc.) Homeowner's insurance is
useless because of deductables.


File a claim on your HO policy and get cancelled. What a racket!
