Hi, please call a specialist in that for assistance. As of now and future: Follow what everyone says: "Turn off the modem and TV during a lightning storm".
Is it repairable, well, this question can be answered only after opening the back cover and evaluating the damage. From you side, please connect the TV to a different power outlet where other similar devices are working and see. Then try changing the input device to something that sure works. If it does not work even then, this may need attention by a qualified service technician.
a power surge from a lightnig strike could have caused damage to main control board among other things best bet is have the whole machine checked out!!
If your TV has a reset switch on the back, use it. If not, Unplug the TV, hold the power button down for 30 seconds, let it go and remain unplugged for another 5 minutes or so.
Plug it back in, and see what happens. Try changing the inputs/channels/etc to see what happens. If you're still having this issue, Take your TV in for repair.
- Sidenote, a $25 power bar with built in protection curcuits are the easiest way to protect your equipment from this kind of thing, and quite a bit cheaper than forking over $300 for a new TV everytime there's thinder and lighting.
my tv did the same thing about one month after i bought it luckily it was still under warranty it turned out that when i had a lightning storm it shorted some fuse inside the part was $100 i tried to replace it myself but it needed a specail tool. good luck
