That was an excellent repair and restoration! Most people who have such problems, such as motherboard issues, usually either give up totally, or disassemble the laptop and sell it for its parts only. So it's good that you did a repair, and also got almost everything working again. :) I always wrap up everything I send well, with good amounts of protection, for the very reason you found out! Also, the only things I would have done differently is: 1) change RAM to 32GB instead of 16GB, and 2) add optical CD/DVD drive, as the laptop had DVD drive bay but wasn't actually used (and also didn't have 3rd disk).

I enjoy all of your videos and thank you for the hard work you put into them. But, personally, I would never go near any electronics device that has been hit by a lightning strike. The problem that you immediately have is a large number of components in that entire device might not just be burnt out but may also be weakened and fail long before their natural lifespans. Yes, you changed the motherboard but all of the other components (RAM, hard disk, power supply, screen assembly, etc.) could have been affected and therefore cannot be trusted. Although of a different scale, back in the early 1990's when I was working in telecoms, I had to go and fix a large business phone system that had also suffered a lightning strike. The system was made up of a number of large cabinets with many interface cards to provide extension phones and analogue and digital exchange lines. It took us weeks to fully fault find all of the issues on it - we changed out many interface cards, power supplies, CPU boards, memory boards and phones, and it took us weeks to fix it. We even had some new faults appear (because of weakened components) even while we were fixing the original issues. You just have no idea as to extent of lightning strike damage.

My kid's "TUF" gaming laptop had both its display hinges just freaking explode one day as she was putting it away. Both sides, at the same time! I don't think I'm trusting Asus gaming laptops ever again. Fortunately for me, getting into the base and disconnecting the display, wifi, and a few other things produced a still-fully-functional gaming computer for me, so was a win in the end!

There were some small thermal pads on somekind of chips and the thermal pads were melted, so I removed them and put the thermal paste same as on the GPU and CPU. Laptop works fine but i'm not sure if it was the right thing to do. Should i put the thermal pads on those chips in the future or is it ok to put the thermal paste? Thank you.
