Mine was powered up thru a supposed to be good power strip Smelled a plastic burning smell, couldn't find the source, thought it might be coming from outside so ignored it then it got worse Decided to unplug everything in that corner and found that that strip plug at the wall was the source. All black and burned up Replaced the outlet and plugged my tv directly into the outlet and the rest with a new power strip I guess that the tv's draw a lot of power Won't do that again

Ditch power strips and get UPS instead. Uninterrupted Power Supply aka battery backup.

Up north I never used anything but one surge power strip, down here I have two of them, one to the outlet, then into an isolation transformer, then into another surge/strip into which the gear plugs......when I had the McIntosh stereo, the power amp was plugged into a dedicated 20 amp line, sprung off the bathroom whirlpool .....I have had 4 direct lightening strikes on the back yard damn 100' tall oak trees, stupid ATT ran the phone lines underground down the back property lines so all the trees in the back yards on this block of course are targets, and by 'extension' so is every electron in our homes.....
Since I been here 23 years, about 2 dozen trees have fallen onto homes and I have spent over 5k$ on tree removal, plus 3 I have removed myself.....two more to go...... |

I smell something like that, I don't stop until I find the source. Call me paranoid.
