1400 backups? Geez that's a lot of surge supressors
What all do you have between the wall plug and your computer? Odds are that something in the chain has a warranty that will replace anything damaged. I know APC has some pretty large warranties, I think my power strip is $5,000 or something like that.
Your very apt questions forced me to think. The backups is less than 5 months old. How could the power supply, a 500 watt Robanton bought with the POWMAX DataSafe 1400 VA backups, be zapped by this single surge while everything else was unfazed?
It turns out that the power supply has a circuit breaker on it. I turned the PS switch to off, back to on, then hit the switch on the puter and, like Frankenstein, IT IS ALIVE!!
I've got a mind like a steel trap...that needs to be sharpened and sprayed with WD40!!
Good thing though. But most APC power supplies have at least a $5000 replacement warranty. The larger ones have like $10,000 or $25,000. Some of the large ones I order at work have $100,000 coverage.
