Yeah...not sure how old this thing is... but it's been sitting around unplugged for awhile before I grabbed it and decided to give it a shot. :-) I guess the thing is to see if I can find another UPS and test the batteries from it in this thing.... problem being I don't think I have another of this model. *shrug* From: William Robbins [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 01, 2011 2:36 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: UPS won't turn on Interesting. I've got two APC's at home that won't do boo if the battery is dead. Sure they start to complain as they die, but left alone and unplugged for a long time, as I suspect this one was, they simply don't power up. But my APC's are admittedly very old, and things change. :) - WJR On Fri, Apr 1, 2011 at 13:32, Jonathan Link <[email protected]> wrote: Not necessarily. IME, UPS's with bad batteries will turn on, just notify you that the battery is bad. If it doesn't turn on at all,a nd it's not the circuit breaker as Bob Hartung indicated, then it is dead, and changing the battery likely won't do anything.

(John) The battery can be replaced however; usually at a fraction of the cost of the UPS. - WJR On Fri, Apr 1, 2011 at 13:13, John Aldrich <[email protected]> wrote: I've got a SMARTUPS 1400 that I've had plugged up for awhile trying to see if I can use it. It was just sitting around in one of the offices, not being used, so I thought I'd see what I could do with it. As I said, it's been plugged up for awhile, but it won't even power on. Any ideas what might be the problem? The disconnect plug in back is plugged in so that's not the problem. Any ideas? I don't get any lights or beeps or anything.
