My MacBook Pro won't charge after a lightning strike just outside ..
I had a lightning strike just outside my room where I had my Macbook Pro on charge. I soon discovered that while the Macbook was still functioning fine, it was no longer charging, and there was no charger light on. Now after normal use and time, my Mac has gradually decreased to 0% charge and will no longer turn on. I've tried another known working charger - still without successful charging.
I'm tempted to find on eBay a new mag-safe socket port and circuit, install and see if it fixes..
However, any specific advice or suggestions on what would fail and need replacement? Thank you.

Well, I can conclude with logic, your laptop cannot have been affected by lightning unless it hit your laptop directly or charging cable.
If you think your macbook received an overvoltage due to lightning (which is kinda impossible but hey), then I suggest replacing the components.
But first try different adapters and see if it charges at all, as your laptop might not charge because lightning disabled electricity in your house.

Dear Lena,
I'm afraid your logic is incorrect in this circumstance, but hey, as others have said, lightning does strange things..
I was in my room with the Macbook on, when I saw the lightning bolt strike the tree and run down the trunk into the ground, just 5 meters outside my window.. My Macbook was not the only item to fail after this incident, oddly enough the AppleTV also stopped working (on the other side of the house), along with the Cable Modem and an electronic chip programmer device I use, almost all on different house circuits. Only one of the house's circuit breakers activated, but this seemed to have not saved the computer.
And yes I have tried different and verified good chargers, and none fix the situation.

Actually, I bet the electrical devices failed because the lightning surge went up theough the GROUND wire ... in any other situation it would be completely unexpected, but makes logical sense in this circumstance.
