Power outages are common here. We have lots of coniferous trees. When the wind blows, the branches fly. I like the plug in breaker solution because it is worry and maintenance free. I do nothing until the power goes out, and then I do nothing until the wind stops blowing, then I push a button.

Wait! If it is hand-held, then it is battery powered, right? If so, then a power surge would not have affected it. Even if it were recharging at the time of a power loss, the fault would be in the charging system and not the rest of the electronics. Probably, I simply don't understand what is happening here.
And I wonder if an electronics guy should take a crack at it. Often, those guys are smart.
