So basically you want someone to waste their time and look at it for free? Everybody has to make a living. Most shops will take the $50 and apply it to your repair bill. As far as taking it apart ang fixing it yourself if you can use an ohm meter you might be able to figure out what is wrong by doing a check on all the components in the powersupply, but in my experience most of the time if it's a lightning strike it's not just the powersupply that takes the hit and you might find something that is obviously wrong only to find 3 more things are damaged. You said that Sony wouldn't repair it, I would assume under warranty but if you have it repaired out of warranty you might have better luck.

Jeff The Warnings & Cautions discussed in this manual cant cover all possible conditions/situations. It must be understood that common sense and caution are factors which cant be built into this product.
