Well, ASSuming most of yawl know, I live in FLORIDA, lightening cap of the nation....and of course this LO CAT ion lives up to it's name......the amount of electronicus crappicus I have lost to lightening damage on this hillside totals about 5 grand in the last 20 years, BUT here is the strange thing, nothing to any appliance Knock on WOOD@@@@!!!! it's all been TV/stereo crap, and modems.....when ever I hear a boom from mommy nature, out go the 'tronics'......

our stove is a gas range on propain.....electronic OVEN card with clock....

the burners are manual......

I have a used appliance store basically next door......and since I was in the appliance trade decades ago, I have some basic knowledge of WTF is going on today.....

ONE thing, I SUSPECT the vast majority of card/controller failure is due to a bad capacitor....one of them little black and silver cylinders scattered over the board.....maybe yawl can find the remains of one find the values of the part, and replace it......
