Last night I believe our house experienced a brown-out: this caused the lights to dim and then come back to full strength. Our modem, router, and desktop PC restarted. The other computer didn’t restart and stayed on. I’m going to ask some neighbours if they experienced the same thing.
The issue is at the time I believe our Canon printer was on, or shutting down, at the time. Afterwards it would turn on. I've tried plugging the power cord direct into the power point in the wall (rather than where it was at the time of the brown-out, in a surge protector board). Every other device plugged into the surge protector is working fine.
What are the causes of brown-outs, and what are my options if this caused damage to my printer's power cord and/or printer itself?
Regards,
Stevie
