This post isn't about the condition of the cord itself, but what a cut off power cord may indicate.
Many techs would cut off the cord of a unit which might prove dangerous (shock or fire hazard, etc) if it were plugged in by some unsuspecting person.
Almost like someone taking the spark plugs out of a car with no brakes. It's not a great analogy, but you get the idea.
