No one wants to spend their hard earned cash on repairing their notebook. Trust has created the Surge Guard PW-1100p To prevent expensive and fragile notebooks from being damaged by electrical peaks or surges. The Surge Guard prevents notebooks from being subjected to fluctuations and surges of electricity so that no data loss or computer crashes take place. The Surge Guard has an additional connection to which you can connect either your telephone, modem or router which then in turn protects these as well. The unit also sports a power and surge indicator which lets you know the actual status of your power connection.


Trust included a 2 and 3 pin connector which allows the unit to be used with all modern notebooks. Universally compatible and thus an easy purchase. Trust have also included a cable clip and Velcro tape to allow the unit to be attached to your notebooks power adaptor. The size of the Surge Guard and possibility of attaching the unit to the power adaptor means that it can be easily stored away along with your notebook in the carry case. Trust have also seen fit to compensate any damages caused by the malfunctioning of the Surge Guard for a sum of up to 10,000 euro.

The Trust Surge Guard PW-1100p is available for a recommended retail price of 19,95 euro.

Default Re: Trust safeguards your notebook from high peaks and surges

I have a horrible experience with a Trust power product and warranty for connected equipment. I had a Trust UPS800 (which comes with a 20.000¤ connected equipment warranty according to Trust) with a PC and TFT monitor attached to it. One day (almost a year ago now) I heard a loud bang in my PC-room and heard the beep sound from the UPS. I went to take a look and found the PC damaged, the TFT monitor damaged and the UPS damaged. It took some time to figure out the real damage, i.e. the PC power supply, the PC mainboard, the TFT monitor and the UPS itself were damaged.
So I called trust, opened a trouble ticket and they had me send all the defective equipment to them, which I did. After some month, I received a shipment from Trust : the PC mainboard, with a letter : sorry, this is not a Trust product, warranty does not apply.
Getting back to Trust, they told me that it was a mistake, and, on top of that, that they were unable to find the TFT monitor I sent. Then, they asked me to sent the delivery note of the post office, which I did ... Since then, no more news from them .... So, don't TRUST too much in Trust's connected equipment warranty ... you might even never see your defective equipment again if you send it to them ....
