Default TV turns off plugged into surge protector

Not according to APC, et al. Most equipment-replacement warrantees require
that the surge protector be damaged. By the manufacturer's reasoning, if the
protector wasn't damaged, then it must have absorbed the surge -- and
therefore the equipment could not have been damaged.



William, 'westom' AKA 'W_Tom' is a well known troll with a hard-on
for people who use surge protectors. No matter what evidence you
provide, he will deny it and call you an idiot.
