So...
This is my second wood's power strip / smartstrip that has failed
I believe it is made by CCI and I see that the new ones are a different color (I don't actually know if it's the same model/ design).
They last between 2-5 years and in this case, the controlled outlets would no longer turn on.
I thought it was a bad cap but upon disassembly, I see it is a burnt out / cracked resister (at least on this one).
I have appended pictures but will not attempt a repair as 1) power strips scare me...I've done computer power supplies but there, they are surrounded by a metal to contain the heat hopefully.
Anyways, in case someone has the same power strips and find that they are failing, this might give you an idea of where to look.
