I heard thunder close by and a pop at my computer. The power went off. Now at power up it beeps red and does nothing. I had a MAUDIO firewire device connected too. Will this be damaged? HELP?
Lightning may damage anything connected to an electrical outlet. Any devices connected to your computer may also be damaged beyond repair. There is a slight chance, however, that the fuse inside the power supply may have blown before the motherboard and other hardware were damaged. Have a computer repair shop replace the power supply and see if that helps. If it does not, you'll have to buy a new PC.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
