Let's hope this incident is just a one-off! I have the same Belkin surge protector in my bedroom powering a SFF PC and desklamp (in fact, the larger Belkin surge protector that came in a set with this one is still going somewhere too), and it has been going for about 15 years now no issue. I still choose to buy Belkin equipment instead of the Amazon specials since I've heard of way more fire/safety issues with mains-AC-powered cheap equipment from no-names or even AmazonBasics. At least I think Belkin would care if any of their products presented a fire hazard.
@@EastCoastJeepSRT glad everything is fine. A home fire is one of my biggest fears and I have my garage fridge hooked up to this thing I’m gonna toss it right now

Holy crap man I literally have the same one in my garage good looks🙏🏽
Yeah it was crazy when I realized that this thing was smoking and burning inside. So much for that surge protection.

I have several Belkin 10 watt phone USB-C charger blocks
Wow that is dangerous. Have you contacted Belkin yet?
Not yet
that's what happen man you used extension cords . you have too use the cable that came with the divices . also unplug your devices if you have surge
I know. Son of an electrician. We didn’t know there was a surge, and there’s zero reason it should burn up two devices plugged in.
Hi yah, as a fan of yours, I've been following you and sending you emails, so hopefully you'll get back to me
Yes, I’ve read them.
