I was told on this list that it is powered by the AC from the external
connection and believe that's it's only source, haven't checked.  If so, it
should be 110Vac, not 12Vdc  Will do that today b/c I asked at a hw store
yesterday about replacing the 'breaker' (is what I termed it) or reset
pushbutton.  Mine is broken too.  Since I couldn't find one, surprise,
surprise, I then decided to check the entire circuit for possible
elimination of the breaker with a blank plate. I also plan to replace the
outlet with an SGLI so it's still safe for government educated Americans.
