Hey Doug,  FWIW -- an brief overvoltage condition can fry power supply's 
in computers (and newer Televisions, routers and other devices)even 
though they are turned off.This has happened to me twice down here in 
Mexico and my son in the U.S. just had the same thing happen to him on 
his computer & Television as the result of a thunderstorm. Guess the 
only 100% safe thing to do is to kill the power switch in back on the 
power supply.
