Changed power supply after lightning strike, still no power

I have a PS4 Slim CUH-2215B that is still not turning on after replacing it with the correct power supply. I have tried an incorrect power supply made for an earlier model of the Slim, could that have fried something or would that have been the lightning strike? I bought this off a friend. I get absolutely nothing from the PS4, no fan turning, no beeps, no sound, nothing. I’ve looked at the motherboard but I couldn’t see anything obvious that looks burnt or anything. Could the motherboard be fried or would it be a faulty power supply?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

My guess would be a blown HDMI IC or Ethernet chip depending on what was plugged in at the time.

Different model Slim PSUs can be used note that they may not fit in well and you'd have to microsolder the old 4 pin PSU connector from the old PSU to the new PSU.

I have tried it before and it works fine. Though this is not a good way to replace a power supply as it doesn't fit in the casing well.

Don't think those two chips would be at fault it's more likely a blown ceramic capacitor. There's a few near the two long prong PSU connector on the board an behind too. I'd check caps for shorts and see how that goes.

Hi!

What do you mean with incorrect power supply? Other type/model used ? Anyway, if you tried a different power supply as well (which matched) and it’s still not turning on, most of the times the motherboard is broken.. You need to measure I’m affraid.

I tried a PS4 slim PSU but from an earlier revision, CUH-2015 I believe. Would you know where I'd have to measure?
