1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

So I posted a problem with VS...
One on the forum posted that there is a solution in upcoming 17.3.0, and invited me to check it using the preview version... It is not an option for me right now, so I didn't - decided to wait for the update...
Meanwhile, as time passes a super intelligent MS-bot picked up the conversation, changed it's status to 'Need more info' and added this post:
Quote: We will close this report in 14 days because we don’t have enough information to investigate further. To keep the problem open, please provide the requested details.
This is after, that it was clearly stated that there is a solution in a future version...

So we've had some brownouts this last Saturday afternoon, and then a total blackout that lasted (in my case) for nearly 48 hours. Plenty of reports of confirmed tornadoes. I count myself lucky and have been spared the worst - I don't have to go very far to see some rather impressive damage.
But to jump straight to the point - despite being set up with a UPS, one of my Intel NUCs no longer powers on. The LED built into the power button blinks once every (maybe) 2.5 seconds, but it otherwise does not power on at all. I've tried long presses, short presses, disconnecting for 30 seconds, disconnecting for many hours in fact...but the same thing occurs; the power button blinks once every 2-3 seconds but nothing happens. Like it was stuck in sleep mode and doesn't want to come out of it.
The hard drive still works fine, and is now in fact running in another system. But I'm left wondering if that system is truly fried. If it was, I wouldn't expect the LED on it to blink in this way.
Thoughts? Options?

probably the mother board. I have one that I know is this way for sure.

My sympathies. I agree with rnbergen about the probable cause.
Even if the drive is still working, I would treat it with suspicion and replace it at the earliest opportunity. A surge that burnt out components on the motherboard probably stressed the disk drive as well.

I would check your UPS as well. It might have been damaged and passed it on to one of its outlets and your computer. I would expect it to have good surge protection, but it is not unlimited.
