   Hi Mark,   
      
   MH> I learned another interesting thing about APC UPS units earlier this   
   MH> year. Just because they don't turn on at all, doesn't mean they are   
   MH> broken.  Almost always, it is a bad battery issue.   
      
   Very interesting. Thanks for the info.   
      
   MH> Without a decent battery, some will not turn on at all.  Removing   
   MH> the battery and plugging it in the wall will still prevent it from   
   MH> turning on.  The battery must be installed.   
      
   OTOH, how do you know that the UPS doesn't turn on? Mine works silently   
   until the battery starts to get low.   
      
   Have a nice day,
