The weather was beautiful all day -- just the typical Pacific Gas and
Electric service interruption, so it's hard to figure how it could
have been zapped with a surge. Something squeals when the set is
plugged into the power strip, but that's the only response.

Any ideas where to start?

Is there likely to be a reset button or blown fuse? It's a Toshiba
27AF43, if that's any help.

Can't help regarding repairing it, but you could try to find out from
Pacific Gas and Electric why the interruption occurred. Surges don't
necessarily come from lightening. For example having a high voltage
cable break and land on a lower voltage cable could cause one.

Whether you'd have any redress against the power company if it turns out
there was a surge would depend on your jurisdiction.

Surges can't come from LIGHTENING, that's what happened to Michael
Jackson's face. Surges can come from LIGHTNING.

Oh, give it a rest.
