I have a surge protection extension plug (its roughly 2yrs old)
it has two lights …
A red light to show the power running through the extention plug and a Green light to show the surge protection.

Yesterday i noticed that the Green light wasnt on (not sure how long it had been that way)
and the red right is flickering

What does this mean?
Should i be worried?

it means it has activated and protected your equipment however it needs to be replaced as it no longer can protect your equipment – these are one time devices relying on sacrificial components to save your electronics. and since its had a surge the sacrificial components have burnt out and a NEW one is needed to ensure ongoing protection..

Enjoy this short introduction to the DEHNguard Type 2 surge protection Device (SPD) from DEHN & Söhne and Extreme Safety. The DEHNguard is perfect for primary protection from direct lightning strikes from lightning protection Zones 0 2. The DEHNguard is capable of absorbing 8/20 waveshpaes (indirect lightning strikes and utilities switching surges). It is also capable of absorbing 10/350 waveshapes (direct lightning strikes) in some instances. The DEHNguard is fully coordinated with all other DEHN SPD’s. DEHN & Söhne products are distributed in Australia by Extreme Safety.

I fried my last external hard drive when I plugged the power cord to my printer into it. Consequently, I would like one that will protect me from stupidity. Any suggestions?

A USB powered drive would solve the problem, and you wouldn’t have to worry about power cords.

Also, you can get an external drive enclosure that has the transformer built in, which means that you use the regular computer type power cord rather than one with a AC/DC converter brick in it. For example:

This is a drive enclosure, not an external drive, but all you would have to do is put in your own hard drive (perhaps even the one inside your old external case still works?) and it becomes an external drive.
