How to Tell if Your Surge Protector is Bad: Most surge protectors have a light of some sort. Newer models will have an LED, purple flower wild while older models may have a standard light bulb. If your light is burnt out, dim, or flickering, your surge protector has taken a surge and is no longer fully capable of protecting your PC.May.
My surge protector is not an ordinary one. It cost nearly $600 and it is advertised to never fail in surge protection. Ordinary power strips are supposed to be replaced after one major surge, but not this one.
As I mentioned, perhaps a lightening strike did affect it in some way.
