If your surge protector is still supplying power, it should still be fine. Surge protectors have two separate ways of preventing surges, semiconductors act as variable resistors to prevent smaller surges (which can be cause by things as simple as refrigerators and air conditioners, anything high voltage), and a fuse that breaks to protect from surges the semiconductors cannot handle. If the surge protector is still supplying power, the fuse is still intact, and your surge protector is fine.

Replace A Broken iPad Screen Protector ?

An iPad screen protector can really be a good thing for you to have, but it may be more dangerous than helpful if it is broken. A cracked protector can bend down and scratch the screen when pressure is applied to it. This could happen if it is in your bag, for instance, with your books. As soon as it breaks, you need to replace it to prevent any further damage to your iPad.

What happens when you press the reset button on a surge protector by accident and then it doesn't work anymore?

The reset button only resets the built in circuit breaker in the power strip section of the surge protector. If it quit working then you may have pressed it too hard and broken the circuit breaker's mechanism (this is hard to do but possible) and the device is now scrap. Replace it with a new surge protector.Pressing reset by accident is really very unlikely to break the circuit breaker's mechanism, but I didn't see what you did.
