Yep,friggin' thing. Monster 5100 series,all lights are on but the outlets on the back aren't getting any juice.Allready checked the inline fuse.Thing is about 7 years old,is that about normal for these things or should I call Monster and see if their customer service will do anything? You guys have any experience with PC's that crap out ? Maybe I should just toss the frocker and get another more reliable one. Any suggestions for a new one?

    I've had a Tripplite LCR2400 for 7 years if that is any help. No frills, just clean reliable power.

    It could be a problem in the microprocessor control section.

    Mine saved everything I had plugged into it. I opened it up to find a blown fuse. It's a proprietary fuse and I couldn't find it anywhere. So I called Monster Power and told 'em what happened and could I get another fuse from them?
    I was politely instructed to take it back where I bought it and pick up a replacement, after they verified that the store was still there.
    Sure enough, I put it back together and took it back to Audio Video (RIP) and they had the replacement waiting.

    Oh yeah, I'm a Monster fan:D

    Call their CS and see what they'll do. If they won't help you, then you know what to do next.

    Buy a Panamax.
