Belkin surge protectors are fakes. They do nothing to protect your equipment from harm. My laptop power supply and blu-ray player were damaged beyond repair even though they were connected to the Belkin surge protector during a lightning storm. The warranty of replacement of damaged equipment is a lie. I went through a lengthy process but the claims were rejected with lies and unsubstantiated explanations. Hope you all don't get cheated by Belkin, and these surge protectors are not cheap.

There was a lightning storm one night, and I could hear a series of pops like firecrackers. Both the laptop power adapter and the bluray power supply units were damaged even though they were on the surge protector. Belkin will ask you to surrender all damaged equipment and the surge protector for analysis. The technician at the collection center did a quick check and told me the surge protector is damaged.

When I checked a month+ later, the damaged power adapter and the bluray player were still with the collection agent while Belkin only collected the surge protector. Add another 1-2 months and 20 emails later, Belkin just said, their surge protector is fine and okay and my equipment caused their own damage.

They were connected to the surge protectors and both damaged during the lightning storm, and the technician confirmed damage to the surge protector as well during the pre-check. Still Belkin HQ denied any responsibility.
