yes he can buy another modem... though I would say I need more details. cause if the computer was on at the time it would have blown the computer also

the part about blowing the whole computer is not nescessarily true I have fixed alot of computers in my shop that lightning struck or hit close by and the electrical surge blew the modem and not the computer.
you can do as the other person suggested but before you do try swithching out ethernet cables as a large electrical surge will burn them out. if this don't work then go for the modem.

nicely, easily its sounds worse than it quite is. There are issues that are stated as varister's (variable resistors) that sacrifice themselves in order that this doesnt take place. before everything, get rid of the modem, and xbox, and each thing that grow to be under pressure out at the same time. initiate on the wall, verify your socket for potential, floor, and it quite is precise under pressure out between the different 2, the nice and comfortable and impartial. Then, in case you have a potential strip, verify that next. Plug it in, push reset button if needed and verify each and every plug for potential. in case you dont have certainly one of those, get one. they're your first line of protection. Take your modem, cable modem i assume. Push the reset button, that's sometimes a tiny hollow, yet its there. Plug it in without the cable twine. If it lights fixtures up you recognize its potential grant made it. comparable element with your xbox, discover the reset and then be conscious potential. you may desire to be certain some sort of potential on gentle. you besides mght could prefer to study if your potential is on a floor fault interrupter circuit, which will could desire to be reset, in case you have not have been given any potential on the opening that's. those issues will help you to be certain in case you may lead them to useful. lights is a surge of electric energy which could make it throughout the time of the protective contraptions and harm circuits in the previous the protection starts. yet, sometimes not. Your xbox, cable modem, and potential strip each and every could have a varister on the incoming potential twine. It is composed of disassembly and so undecided you prefer to do it. good luck
