The answer to 'my surge protector won't turn on' is that there are several common causes, including a tripped circuit breaker, a faulty surge protector, or a power outage. Symptoms may include the surge protector not illuminating or not providing power to connected devices.
To troubleshoot, first check your circuit breakers and reset any that have tripped. If the breakers are fine, try plugging the surge protector into a different outlet. If it still doesn't power on, the surge protector itself may be faulty and need to be replaced. In most cases, these are simple DIY fixes, but if you're unsure or the problem persists, it's best to call an electrician to inspect your electrical system.
