my ceiling fan stopped working neither the lights come on nor do the blades move.we had bad storms today and the fan or lights were not on. The fan is normally operated by a remote control. Neither the remote nor the manual chains have any affect. I have checked all the brakers and all electrical outlets in the room work.could the storm done something to it even with it off?

The storm could have taken out the remote.

the thing in the fan or the remote on the wall?

Yes, the "thing" in the fan could have been damaged if you had lightning, or some other type of surge. The electronic control in the fan overides the manual control on the wall.

What's going on here. Some of the problem description is word-for-word identical with this thread (http://forum.doityourself.com/showthread.php?t=253892) by a different poster.
