[SML] Electrical question

[Paul Guncheon]

Kinda off topic: I had a power outage at home that lasted about 6 hours.
After the power came on, I discovered that three wall warts (the ubiquitous
plug-in transformers) were dead. As I hadn't used the devices that these
wall warts powered all that often, it was days or weeks after the power
outage that I found out so I'm not sure that the power being turned back on
was the cause. Is it possible that it was? Note that several other
transformers, notably Apple device chargers, were not affected. However,
the ones that died were connected to devices (they were not powered on at
the time) but the Apple chargers were not connected to anything.

One of the ones that died powered my doorbell... which is why this is so
curious. The other two were less than two years old.
