Recently my house experienced a near lightning strike. A couple computers got zapped. I was able to determine that the power supply on one was fried by shorting two wires with a paper clip (a process described on multiple web sites). After replacing the power supply, it still wouldn't boot. Are there methods similar to the power supply test (that don't require additional equipment) to determine whether the various components are fried or not? e.g. How can I determine if the motherboard is fried? How about the CPU? Memory?

TIA
