Bitch #2: After last night's storm it seems my cable box in my computer room is shot as it won't even turn on.
Do you have any indication that it's plugged in? Is the time showing on front? If so, unplug it, wait 5 seconds and then plug it in again. It'll take a few minutes to boot up.
If there is no indication that it's on, check the plugs (both ends of cable) and then check the outlet. If that doesn't work then the box may be fried.
