I Need Surge Protector

Yesterday was raining... not a heavy one of course. I was watching some movies thru my computer. All of sudden.... PIANG! A loud one. One strike out of no where, no warning as well. I jump from my seat and fell off the chair. Half of my spirit gone while I still breath heavily. I thought I have lost part of my soul. I wake up. Look around. Damned! The whole house is dark. No electricity as the power meter has a jump circuit. I said Shit! This time my computer mother board definitely burned.

No other choice, start investigate the jump circuit. Press the button and pull down the switch to turn it on. The house light is on again except my computer. Open up the CPU and checked for the burning power switch. It seems ok... but why it was not on. Check the cable wire from point to point. You know what I discover? The fius of the power cable is burn. Still anxious over the damned computer, quickly find another spare fius and replace it.

Phew! My computer is safe. Save another few thousand bucks. However, I may escape this time... Perhaps the next time, it will definitely BLOWS UP, if it happens again. Today I am gonna get my SURGE PROTECTOR just in case. I advise any of you who use computer during raining season, get a surge protection. It is ok to spend a couple of ringgit than spend thousands of ringgit to get new computer. As in Malaysia particularly in Selangor, lightining is unpredictable. Even no rain, sometimes lightning strike out of the blue for no particular reason.

Get A Surge Protector to be save for all electrical appliances.
