Scott Sorry to hear that. I do not know whats used on the output. But your guess is pretty good. I had a nearby strike on a tree 50 ft away and it damaged a ton of equipment. Yes it was all grounded and not to start a debate here about grounding and such. Its just that a strike that close creates one heck of a pulse. Further todays homes may have a lot more wire in them phone cable power and ethernet. So lots of ways to carry the pulse. So if you do find the chips great. BUT I have experienced this numbers of times. Something about high clear and flat for the house. What you may see in the next 90 days is a slow but sure degradation of things. Just sort of watch out for it. Hard to notice, but one day maybe your computer has a hard time booting.Maybe the TV volume control starts to act odd.
