Question
My house sustained a lightning strike and my sprinkler timer is dead, i.e. blank screen and non-responsive.  I lost other electronic devices but many survived.  The timer's transformer plug checks out okay on a voltmeter.  Is there a fuse or any other repair that can be made or is it gone forever and needs to be replaced?  Thanks!

Answer
Hey Jason, so first just disconnect the power for about 2 minutes and then turn the power back on. If you look in back of the controller, above the #6 terminal screw, you will see a reset contact. Take a flat head screwdriver, and make contact with the 2 contacts. If the controller still does not give you a display, it is time to replace the controller. Good luck and have a great day.
