How to reset after a lightning strike?

Lightning struck near my mother's house (which is 2500 miles from my house.).
I'm going to try and help her get the airport running again (over the phone) but am wondering what the best steps are to troubleshoot.  I realize it may be done for, but what to help her give it a try....
Thanks

Pull the round power connector from the back of the AirPort Extreme, then pull the AC plug from the AirPort Extreme's power cord from the AC wall jack.
Count to ten
Plug the power cord back into the wall AC jack, then plug the round power connector into the back of the AirPort Extreme
Allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart
If things are OK, you will either have a green light, or a slow, blinking amber light on the front of the AirPort Extreme.
Green indicates that things might work OK, assuming that the modem or other associated products were not damaged.
Blinking amber indicates a setup issue and AirPort Utility will be needed to identify and troubleshoot the issue.
Solid amber, or no light at all indicates that the AirPort Extreme is done for

  • Why does my airport extreme have 2 of the LAN port on but not the main light after a lightning strike ??!

    pleasee help!!

    Unfortunately, this is a symptom that a power surge has damaged the AirPort Extreme. There is likely nothing that can be done other than replacing the device.
    If you have an Apple store or authorized servicer in your area, you should take it to them so they can have a look at the device to confirm. As user stinkybumbler mentions, it would be a good idea to have any of your sensitive electronic gear plugged into a high quality surge protection device.

    Hi tyler30389,
    You can reset the security questions for your Apple ID by going to My Apple ID and navigate to the Password and Security section to change them. You will have to know the answer and if you do not know them there should be a reset security questions email link. If you do not see one then you will have to contact Apple Support to further assist you. For more information take a look at the article below.

  • Credit Risk Analyzer - How limits can be reset after the term has ended

    Hi Experts,
    I would like to know how limits can be reset after the transaction term has ended.
    Currently, my utilization reports still show past transactions and this transactions are still affecting my limit calculation report.
    Am I missing a process or a configuration?
    Also, would anyone know where the SAP limit utilization report is pulling out the transactions so when I run the limit utilization report, I can still view historical data?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Jerry,
      I do not think this customization helps. It only has two options to set start date as start of term or as date of commitment. But what if i want to set in future like your problem. Do we make it date of commitment for all the money market instruments?
    Best regards!

    Using iPhone/iPad Recovery Mode
    http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonetroubleshooting/a/Iphone-Recovery-Mode.htm
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    Hi..
    Password or passcode?
    If you can't remember the Passcode, you need to restore the device from the computer it was last synced with.

    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • HDMI, Headphone Jack, Ethernet port doesn't work after lightning strike

    I have a Mac Mini mid 2011 model. After a recent thunder storm/lightning strike the ports mentioned doesn't work anymore. Do I have to replace the whole logic board to get it working again?  What are my options in fixing the mini? Luckily, I'm currently using a Thunderport to HDMI, a USB adapter for sound, and USB to Ethernet for internet. The mini still starts up as well as everything else, but those three ports were hit and are no longer responsive.
    Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately.   This is why I never leave my computer plugged in to power or electrical devices when I leave the house in any sort of unpredictable weather situation that may include lightning.   There is no surge protector that can protect against a direct lightning strike.

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

    You can't recover a password. You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.

  • How can we substitute the invalid option "reset after read" in FP-CTR-500 + FP-1600 frequency measurement application?

    We nned to incorpore the values of 2 frequency signals (0-10 Khz)into a process controlled by a VisualBasic application running on 1 PC with W'95. Because the FP-CTR-500 working with FP-1600 hasn't the option "reset after read", the process of reading is a bit complicate, and sometimes, we receive wrong values of frequency from those devices. Could you help me? Is there any extremely reliable method of reading? Best regards,
    Puho

    For frequency measurement information on the FP-CTR-500/502 modules. Please see KnowledgeBase Article #1TB63SUS
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/3efedde4322fef19862567740067f3cc/d8db42f9fdc3607e862568640047f144?OpenDocument
    Ultimately, the FP-CTR-500/502 modules are not designed for frequency measurement, although it is possible to use them to measure frequency. The one thing is that it works best to do the measurements over relatively long integration periods (1/4 second or more).

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
