Well, I came home and rewired the powerstrip inside to make sure the wires were stripped and making contact with the metal prongs of the plugs. Hooked it all back up and still no joy. One thing's for sure now, though - I can't return it to the store and get my money back.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna pick one up because I'd really like to know what the problem is before I do anything else. If it's coming from the other end of the feed then I need to tear *that* outlet out and see what's what in there. I don't want to give up on the strip and put in a standard outlet with a corded strip only to find that doesn't work either.

I would secure the breaker get a glass of wine and rethink your need for the power strip.

Problem is, there is no power into that room at all. And it's where I have all my stuff that needs to be charged, Dustbuster and whatnot. Plus the litter box is in there and it's an automatic deal so it also needs power. I had an extension cord running out of the room to the outlet on the other side of the wall, but that's not a long term solution. Either I hardwire a power strip and mount it in there, or I put in a standard outlet and then put a corded strip on the wall above it. Mama needs some power up in there!

Hahaha joke's on them because their litter box doesn't work with no power in there, so mommy has to scoop it out by hand... uh...
Darn you, you little furry pranksters, darn you both to heck!!!!
