few  days  ago  we  had a couple  mad thunderstorms ..lightning thunder etc ..none  of my amiga gear was turned on or in use  at the time ...we had a power outage  for a second  which reset all the clockss and my dvd/hd  reset itself  ..but they were on and working at the time ..just went  to use my cd32 and got  nothing ..could be the power supply blown ?? ..OR can a surge damage it even though not even on ? ..my 1200  the dvd player and the couple tvs all work fine connected to same  power board ..or has the cd32 or the power pack just worn out ..no bangs  etc when i turn it on ..im thinking power pack as its not  getting hot at all ..dunno where id get a replacement ..anyway  to test the power pack ?


Its a  bit late,but i recommend you put your equipment on a UPS(uninterruptible power supply). Even the cheapest ones can usually prevent things like this from happening.

You could check the power supply with a multimeter to get a idea if its working. Changing it out with a known good one is easier of course.
