...after a power surge to the clock? we have changed the time to what it should be but won't work. it shows the time we set but doesn't flash the colon and the time doesn't run on it. how do we fix it?

Try leaving it unplugged for an hour or so and then plug it in and try setting the time then. Sometimes digital things get confused when there are power problems, so if you leave it unpowered for a period of time, it will be able to power up correctly (just like it was brand new). Also, look for a small reset button -- sometimes digital clocks have those, too. If it has one, press it...If it still doesn't work, then the power problem fried it...
