Thunder storm came thru...my th-50pz80u HDMI ports

I think you would be better having the set to repair shop. It might be not just those ports that has been affected. Modern devices are full of static sensitive parts and lighting is a bit more powerfull than mere static. It could also have comprimised safety features, to prevent fire; for instance. I would take it to a Pansonic service center to be fixed to be on the safe side.
