Spouse was really unhappy about the whole thing. Really did not make sense that all of a sudden the TV lost power. And the alternative, of having a Geek Squad rep in the house when we are isolating, was bad enough.

Decided to play with an extension cord just for the TV. There are currently six devices plugged into the power strip.

Took me awhile to figure out which one was the TV and... all of a sudden it came on. Yes, even after plugging it back to the power strip.

Just glad that it is OK now.
