Service LGT-03
TV lightning damage assessment
A nearby strike took out the TV — sometimes along with everything else plugged in. Lightning is a named peril in most homeowner policies, and the claim moves faster when the damage is documented. The report states the cause, the extent, and whether repair makes sense.
Report excerpt
LGT-03
Unit
Sony X80J · 55" LED · 2022
Symptom as reported
Dead after a lightning strike two houses down. Burnt smell from the vents; nothing lights up.
Finding
Widespread board damage consistent with surge entry through the power and antenna paths. Repair cost approaches replacement value — not economical to repair.
Repair vs replacement
Replace. The report documents the cause and the replacement value — the two things a lightning claim turns on.
What the report includes
The same $25 report as the standard diagnostic, written for your situation.
- Cause documentation consistent with a lightning event
- Extent of damage: boards, ports, panel
- Repair cost range versus replacement value
- A straight verdict for the claim file
- Delivered by email, ready to forward
Will my insurer accept this?
Lightning is a named peril on most homeowner policies, so the claim usually hinges on documentation: what happened, what it damaged, and what replacement costs. The report states all three. Your insurer may still send an adjuster — the report gives you an independent paper trail either way.

Questions about this service
Q.01Does the report support a replacement-value claim?
It documents the cause, the extent of damage, and the cost of a comparable replacement — the numbers a replacement claim turns on. Acceptance is up to your insurer; check your claim requirements.
Q.02The strike hit several devices. Do you assess all of them?
Yes — one diagnostic per device, $25 each. Submit each separately so every device gets its own report for the claim.
Q.03How fast will it arrive?
Simple cases within 2 hours during business hours (8am–9pm ET); complex ones within 5. Off-hours submissions are handled first thing the next morning.
