Sorry for posting this stupid question. But I need advice.
I have a Power Strip, with 6 conectors.
I only use one at a time to charge my stuff when needed.
I've started to notice some problems about it. And I need to know if this will harm my computer or something else, and if you guys could tell me why this is happening.
About three days ago, I connected my Lap as it needed to be charged in order to continue working.
So, I plugged in my Lap charger to the Power Strip, turned it on... and nothing happened.
1 minute or so later, I saw the Charging Icon. Once it was charged, I turned off the Power Strip, disconnected the cable from my lap, and it keept "charging" for 3 minutes. The "Charging" icon didn't disappeared even though I had nothing connected to my Lap.
Today, I charged my 3DS, turned it on, and while indeed was turned on, the screen was completely black. With no sound.
I thought this was an SD Card problem. So I took it out, blow on it, inserted it again, turned on my 3DS and did the same. Black screen. So, i thought I should just wait for the screen to respond. I waited, and waited and waited, and nothing. I turned off my 3DS, and thought it was a problem with my cartridge (I have a DS game on it all the time, just to avoid dust from collecting in the cartridge slot) so I removed the cartridge, turned on my 3DS and the same thing happened.
I unplugged my 3DS from this same Power Strip, and voilá, it was normal as always.
Literally, 4 minutes ago, when attempting to write this post about the Power Strip, my Lap notified me that it needed to be charged. So I did. Plugged the cable to my lap, then to the Power Strip, and turned on the Power Strip. My laptop froze almost instantly. Waited for it to respond, but nothing happened.
Had to hard reset my lap. I just lost the work I was doing with it.
Why is this happening?
