How do I find the manual override on the six outlet Smart Electrician Power Stake?

The box indicates there is a manual override switch, do not see a physical switch, tried covering the photocell for 10-20 seconds and pressing multiple times.

Product not fully identified... attach photograph of product
Product manuals often do not match product today... globalization has shortcomings.
On analog timed units, override can be slide switch, round knob... or many power stakes do not have override
On digital power stakes, override can be sequence of buttons or one button.
Following link shows many common power stakes timers to help identify product and add a followup question.

SOURCE: Outdoor 3-Outlet Photocell Timer

Photocell is 'seeing' lights and thinks it's dawn so it turns off.
When lights are off, timer thinks it's night and clicks back on.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html#troubleshoot

1) Turn photoeye away from lights.
2) Buy new timer since photoeye is first thing to malfunction on cheap Christmas timers.
3) Buy new timer at Lowes, and return defect in new package

Samsung smart tv model UN55MU6300FXZA screen is black but power is present.

Something inside the Samsung didn't like the surge when it was switched back on. If an electrician is turning on power, it's a good idea to have any device which are normally on standby, switched off or unplugged from the socket, till the power is restored.
You will probably have to replace the power board on the TV to see if it restores the rest of the power.

Viore tv won't power up after power outage.

I would first test the outlet. Unplug the TV and plug in your vacuum or other loud or bright object. Turn on test object - if there is no operation, then you have a tripped circuit breaker. Find the electrical panel ( Grey box mounted into a wall, usually in a closet). Find the tripped breaker ( typically the switch will be halfway between on and off, and many have a red indicator by the switch base). Turn switch to off fully, then back to on.
Retest outlet.
If still no power to outlet, unplug everything from that outlet and call an electrician - there may be a serious problem with the wiring!
Hope this helps!!

Resetting a tripped kitchler low voltage transformer

Model number is not known.
I did not know that Kitchler transformers have a circuit breaker.
Usually they have an override switch.
Did you set the timer to override, what does your product manual say?
Is the transformer humming? Kitchler transformer are supposedly non-audible, but there should be some indicating sound. The humming sound indicates the transformer is working.
Does the unit have photoeye? Cover photoeye with black tape.
Test outlet with circuit analyzer.
Check outlet voltage: if you have 120Volt then output is 10% or 12Volts. If you have reduced voltage, then output is still 10% but might be lower than needed to operate bulbs.
Plug timer into different outlet.
Test output terminals with low voltage tester.
Did you have power outage or nearby lightning strike? Transformers are not protected from surge.
Suggest you contact kitchler.
Kitchler.com website is useless
888-412-4877
7711 E Pleasant Valley Rd
PO Box 318010
Cleveland, OH 44131
Kitchler products are probably warranted through the seller.
Kitchler product manuals are almost non-existent.
Scan your product operating manual and parts list into .pdf format and post on web for others to access.

How do I reset Jasco Ge 24HR Timer 6 Outlet Grounded Yard Stake? It was working fine then shorted out and now won't receive power

Open link below to confirm this is your yard stake.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html#59730

1) I tested this timer, and there is no reset.
2) Check that circuit has power. Plug timer into another outlet and see if there is problem with outlet.

3) Buy another GE yard stake at Home Depot and then return defective one.

4) This timer is for 'temporary' outdoor use like seasonal lights.
If timer was buried in snow or got real wet, it might not perform

5) Maximum load for all outlets is 1200 watts.
This timer is not heavy enough for motor loads because motor draw a lot of amps when starting.

For pumps up to 1/4HP use GE15117, or Intermatic HB88RC
http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html#6-24
For pumps over 1/4HP, use box timer like GE15207, or Intermatic T101.
