Few months ago, my dad bought Belkin Surgemaster for my tv connection, saying that it can protect the tv from lighting

then recently, my modem got struck by lightning. Hence, he bought another one for pc and modem,which connected to the phone line also.

but now, i realized that the protected LED of Belkin Surgemaster for my tv doesnt light up anymore, and the one for pc has the earthed LED blinking.
does these mean that the device is no longer protecting the electronic devices connected?

router , modem are sensitive to lightning Surge . they are the first to get fry .

in your case both your belkins maybe nearly dead due to too many strikes.
I suspect your house have a grounding earth system /rod issue.
your earth ground may be faulty with high resistance/impedance.
get it check .
you maybe living in a more lightning prone area . KV

I just realised my earthed light is blinking faintly. How do i make sure it is led problem or wiring problem?

Mine is blinking faintly too. Any idea is it a defect in the unit or something else in your case? Did you claim warranty if it was a defect?

does this happen on other plug socket within your house ?

if no then you may have bad contact , contact not secured tight . or possible your house earth system is compromised.
try do this test in a friends house to verify the blinking .
ys possible too the belkin is faulty .

the best device for lightning surge is a surge SDP installed at the DB box. as your whole house is protected.

ys AVR can protect but cant beat the SDP .
AVR main function is to provide a stable 240 V .

Don't expect warranty claim in Msia. We don't have consumer power compare with US.

1. Belkin new surge protector no longer provide lifetime warranty.
2. Belkin Malaysia will not entertain u if ur surge protector broken and require RMA, u need to go back to the seller. If the seller closed shop, then good luck.

I got 2 of their surge protectors failed. One, I am getting a new replacement, the other one seller refunded me. Belkin design are so bulking and really takes up a lot of space compares to APC. After getting my refund, I bought the APC surge protector, so far so good and it comes with 3 yrs warranty.
