   3. If I conlude that the ports are zapped, can one or two ICs
   be replaced, and where are they?

If you get an answer to this, please pass it along to me!
My modem port was partially zapped by a lightning-induced
(probably) spike through the phone line that killed my
(out of warranty) modem.  Fortunately, only the receive
line was zapped, so I can use the modem port for my printer,
which only has to be sent to, and plug the modem into the
printer port, which is still good.  I have a Plus and I
have also opened it do perform minor repairs, but I have
not, for example, been able to buy a replacement sound
chip.

(I tried mail - no good.)
