Click the link. Insurance. I doubt it's really fixable.

1 or more parts are probably fried. Replace as needed.

Just because the PSU powers the CPU fan does not mean it actually 'works'. After that...the motherboard. After that, could be anything.

Given that there was a nearby lightning strike, and now the PSU is not operating properly....yes, that would be the place to start looking.
