Okay Guyz, I have some questions. When dealin with a surge protector, should I just simply unplug it, or should I turn it off then unplug it? This is after I have already unplugged everything from it mind you. Also, when dealing with cable connections, is there any way I have to pull it out? The cable line is plugged into the TV which is plugged into the wall. So, I need to know how to properly disconnect it from the wall.

The surge protector you can just unplug. That switch is a kill switch for the things plugged in. I would unplug the cable from the TV and leave it in the wall. How is it attached? Is it one that you have to turn to tighten or loosen? What ever you do, don't just jerk it out. It could damage something.

Of course I have. Just not very often.

It's an older saying. I don't hear it much either.

I do not know about the cable, I will as if I can leave it in the wall. I was not the one who set it up, so I do not know.

Neither one of these things really matter. You can turn off the surge protector before you unplug it and you'll reduce any chance of sparks I guess. The cable connection matters even less. You really have no chance f anything going wrong no matter which way you do it.

This is in your dorm? It maybe part of the fixtures in the room. I'd leave the cable where it is. Disconnect from the TV.

The cable wire is mine. They just want us to unplug everything, but that could not apply to things that are not in wall sockets. Anyway, is there a correct way to unplug a cable line from the TV for that matter? I need to know this for my sanity next semester.

 

[Tinker Gnome]

I will be back in a while, I am going to go ask and get food as well.

 

[Tinker Gnome]

Okay, I was told that I can leave the cable wire in.

It was a good thing I stayed to chat with you guys a few minutes longer. I left to go home as I was putting stuff in the car someone drove up. I went over to ask if they needed anything. She said she wanted to ship a bunch of stuff. I said "come on in" and opened the store again. She sent some stuff to Chicago and mailed some cards. That was some money I made that I would have missed if I left on time. Added bonus she was cute and funny. I wish I had the guts to ask her out.

Yeah, well, maybe she'll come back
