Andy is correct. The last two modern electronic items that have lost were damaged by power surges from lightning. Both had power surge protectors that did not protect them. One was a 16 year old Mitusbishi TV, I have not been able to find the microprocessor IC that was destroyed. The other was my old HP computer running windows 98-uses non-standard size mother board, not made any more.
Another thing that breaks on modern electronics is the cheap plastic buttons, supports, etc. Both of my sisters have had this kind of problem with modern TV sets. Kind of reminds me of modern cars-great electronic engine control which is much better than the old carb system (and modern cars have much better safety features), but the rest of the car is mostly plastic junk which begins falling apart after 5 years ( at least this has been my experience).
