This review is from: Kensington Masterpiece Plus 7-Outlet 8.5 FT Cord 1400 Joules Power Control (Electronics)

I came on to one of these units second hand and used it for the last 4 years. One day the computer mysteriously shut off and then came back on. Then I smelled a burning smell. I shut off the computer and monitor and began to replace the monitor. The whole room had a BAD burning electronics smell. After moving the monitor I realized that the burning smell came from the Masterpiece Plus. I disassembled the unit and traced the problem back to the master power switch. The contacts failed to make a good connection and had overheated and charred the board. You could see the plastic case starting to melt. What if this had happened when we were not at home? (We often leave the computer on so I can remoltely access it.) I think it is important to design electronics so that the failure mode is safe and NOT a fire hazard.
