I replaced mine with a longer cable. I got that. No issues.

Thank you so much for your help!
Just in case, it's worth getting a surge protector if you're not already using one, you don't need to spend a fortune, the ones that Sainsburys sell are actually extremely capable and only cost around a tenner.


Or you can find them on Amazon


Surge protector, if there's a spike in the mains like as the power comes back on after a power cut or if there's a lightning strike that hits the line somewhere (actually happens quite frequently), rather than that surge hitting your lovely PC, the power cable will blow a dummy fuse, won't cause any damage to anything, and the dummy fuse just comes back to normal when you repower the extension.
