Hi,

Just to share some of my experience. I am using Belkin surge protector and it got up to RM10,000 coverage. My PC, modem and wifi was connected to it and 1 day, lightning strike, MotherBoard, modem and wifi gone case... and it is claimable from Belkin service center. it is best that you keep your receipt for those electrical item. They will replace the belkin surge protector 1 to 1 exchange... so i will recommend Belkin

wah.....ur I am using Belkin too...... ur Belkin can't safe ur computer,etc? that's worry me...although it's claimable but it's kinda troublesome too..

yeah... i think the lightning too powerful... but only happen once so far... it is from my telephone line... hehe

claimable is better than i dig out my wallet to get new hardware...

for home theather used wohh plug in receiver, plasma tv, HTPC,dvd player... belkin can meh??

how many devices do you guys plug into your power extension plug? TV, AVR, DVD/BluRay Player, astro....all sharing same extension power plug? can?

cal-lab ?

heard about cases that belkin refuse to compensate the owner

those home content insurance sometimes cover lightning strikes too...go check..it starts from rm200++ for a year's coverage i think

if any equipments get hit, as long as you have proof of purchase for it, you could try to claim from the insurance provider for a new set or repair...

speaking of this - i havent taken mine...will do that soon...

if lightning strikes,i jus off da tv n 'cabut' the plug only...

im still doin that eventho i have belkin..

I still do that even I have all risk household insurance
and my son always ask me to pull out, he scared the lightning fried the PS3 then he cannot play liao

after strike, can upgrade to KRP-600A

what happened to the damaged assets..... claimable???

yeah... claimable... according to your receipt. If your item less than 1 year, they pay 100%, if more than 1 year... then lesser... i just submit my case last week. still not sure how much i can get.

that because the owner never follow the rules...
no read the instruction that why belkin refuse to pay back

and my son always ask me to pull out, he scared the lightning fried the PS3 then he cannot play liao

How long did it take for them to process your claim? They give you back the full cost of the motherboard, modem and wifi?
