i had purchased gigabyte g31 motherboard 2 years ago. now before two months on a rainy night, i forgot to disconnect the phone line from my broadband modem. that night my modem got busted due to thunder. then i purchased a new modem (dlink) and connected but the lan indicator was not glowing.
now i am giving my motherboard for repairs (under warrenty). any suggestions?

if there is any burn mark (burnt caps) it'll be designated as physical damage & mayn't fall under warranty.

i haven't actually seen that carefully. but i had opened the case a few days back but did not note anything unusual. by the way, where will those marks be if i am gonna check again for them? thx

the lan chip and/or the connector.
