Sorry if this is the wrong forum but here goes:

The other night I was on the computer and the power went out, so I went to bed. The next day I turn on the computer and my monitor doesn't work, I tried an old one and it worked so I figure the power outage blew the monitor.

On a whim, I called hydro to find out if they could do anything for me. Turns out they have some kind of insurance and the guy told me to go get an estimate from my local computer store and bring it in to them. He in turn would send it off to their insurance company and I would get a letter as to whether it was approved or denied.

I would imagine that in most cases things like this get denied and was looking for any help or tips with regards to this situation. Perhaps someone out there has gone through this before.

Cheers,
Shooter
