Default jetdirect J3113a struck by lightning

Going against what others said I have repaired many devices hit by lightning and they worked. Some dialup modems internal and external, a PC TV capture card and some television sets. While you may think the strike may have taken sensitive ICs and many components it does not seem common, and a few discretes is all I found in my repairs. Of course all depends on the strength of lightning. That means it may work replacing these fried components or a few more.
