Last Saturday, when I turn on my [new computer](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2020/03/06/my-new-computer-amd-ryzen-7-3700x/), it causes my Main Circuit Breaker (MCB) to trip. This is the first time I encountered a trip in MCB. Typically, it is the Circuit Breaker inside my house that will be tripped. Sadly, after that happened, I can no longer switch on my computer. I suspect my Power Supply Unit (PSU) is fried. I am using the Corsair SF Series SF750 which comes with 7-year warranty under [Convergent](https://www.convergent.com.sg/). Sadly (again), Convergent doesn’t have any stock left for Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA). They have placed an order in January 2020, but due to COVID-19, they have not gotten any stocks for the Corsair SF750. Lucky, Abdul from [Dynacore](https://www.dynacoretech.com/) allowed me to bring down for them to check. I kind of make things difficult for him as I threw away the original boxes after a week (I thought the 1-1 exchange is only valid for a week). He actually told me to keep the boxes for a month. Despite that, he still proceeded on with the 1-1 PSU swap for me. After the swap, my computer managed to boot up. I hope no other parts are affected. I would like to give a big shoutout to Abdul of Dynacore for the excellent service. After this incident, I immediately went to buy a [Belkin Economy Series 4-Socket Surge Protector](https://www.belkin.com/sg/p/P-F9E600-3M/) to replace my cheaper SoundTeoh 3-Socket extension. The recommended retail price of Belkin Economy Series 4-Socket Surge Protector is **S$39**. During [Lazada](https://www.lazada.sg/products/i102467081.html)‘s Online Tech Show from 12th to 16th March 2020, the price drops to S$33.15. Belkin Economy Series comes in either 6-socket or 4-socket. Both come with a 3m heavy-duty cable.

Because it is less bulky, it also fits more comfortably in my [Bluelounge CableBox](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2011/05/11/bluelounge-cablebox/).
