I get a call from a client's assistant that there was a power failure and some of the home theater components were not turning back on. Given the circumstances it's either a dreadfully easy fix involving the power distribution system (non-geeks call them power strips) or the products were simply fried.
Upon arriving the Monster power strip was all lit up with 6 status lights and a glowing voltage readout. It seemed to be pretty happy. As reported some of the gear was not powering on. I press the *On* button and a 7th little status light turns on and the components click on.
Problem solved. Elapsed time 18 seconds. Drive time: 41 minutes. Thanks Monster, now I need to figure out how to bill my client $0.39 for service.
Can you tell the difference between power off and on? (mouse over to see the difference)
