PS5 Slim won't turn on after electrical surge/lightning strike

My PlayStation 5 Slim was connected to a wall outlet when a power surge occurred (lightning/electrical strike). Now the console shows no signs of life—no lights, no beeps, and it won't power on even with a different cable and outlet.

Is this likely a blown fuse in the internal power supply, or is it common for the motherboard to be damaged in these scenarios? Are there any specific test points on the PS5 Slim power supply to check for voltage?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

so its from you given simptoms its definately a PSU problem or power supply unit problem. the psu if basically the first line of defence having fuses, rectifiers, regultors, mosfets etc. so i think the PSU is completly blown (at least fuses) check the fuses and try with a different PSU thats your only sollution but if only a fuse is poped you can just replace it rather than replacing whole PSU. Also you should really cheack for secondary damge on the motherboard but PSU is a must. i highly recommend cheack out this vidio as it goes more in dept https://youtu.be/de57wjPUfmI?si=oNRcJxx6...
