I have my Modem/Router and some other computer stuff plugged into two power strips that are in turn plugged into this surge protector (mostly because this has two open plugs). Today I turned off one of the power strips, rearranged some of the stuff (moved something from one strip to the other, etc.), and when I turned the strip back on, it did nothing and the other strip turned off (I knew for sure because the router has a backup battery that beeps when there is a loss of AC power. It was beeping.)
After some testing, I concluded it was this surge protector, not a breaker or either power strip that was the issue. Since it had invitingly standard Phillips head screws, I opened it up to see if there was anything obviously wrong. I tested the fuse however it is not blown, working fine. There didn't seem to be any heat damage or other visible issues. The LED on it still lights when plugged in, just normal things don't get power.
Even though I doubt I can actually fix this, I wonder if anyone knows what could be the problem?
