    My slingbox ethernet got fried in a lightning storm. I'm sure it got fired because one of my computer ethernet ports also fired. For the computer it was a cheap fix of installing a PCI nic card, but the slingbox is expensive. I'm wondering if there is a way I can fix it. I have a soldering gun, and have taken out the cirucit board, and can take a picture of it if needed. Just wondering what components on the curcuit board I will need to replace.
