After a series of quick power surges last night, HA Yellow no longer connects to my router and there is no activity indicated from the Yellow's ethernet connection. Red light is on solid. Green flashes and Yellow flashes about twice as fast as green. I have powered down the yellow several times and restarted with same indications/results. If the ethernet connection is fried, do I need a new HA platform? Thanks.

Maybe just the filesystem has been corrupted by the outages.
You can try to use the USB-C serial console to look for error messages.
Windows: https://yellow.home-assistant.io/guides/use-serial-console-windows/
Linux/macOS: https://yellow.home-assistant.io/guides/use-serial-console-linux-macos/
If you get a login screen there, you can login as root and look at the network info with the command ha network info end0
ok. thanks. I'll try that and report back.
ok, I followed the instructions in the link you posted here for macOS. In order to connect HA Yellow to my mac, I moved the Yellow from it's normal location and connected it to my mac. In so doing, I also connected the Yellow's ethernet to a different ethernet connection. With the USB C connected from mac to Yellow, on startup, the Yellow booted and connected to my router. I can open the web browser to HA on my mac and I can also open the HA app on my phone. I reviewed the logs (and saved them) and didn't see anything noteworthy except for this. This is where I store my daily HA backup (to my synology drive) and I have a hard time believing this is why the Yellow would not boot last night but maybe I'm wrong.
At least it rules out a defective LAN or corrupted filesystem on the Yellow.
Is the Synology working? And I would test the LAN port of the switch/router the Yellow was connected previously to with another device. It might be that one being fried.
great minds think alike. I just plugged a desktop computer into the same ethernet connection and it has no internet. weird it only took out that one... or maybe there's more to be discovered. 🤔
