UPS not working, need help.?
1. Hey guys, my ups turns on my computer, but if there a power failure even for 1 sec, it turns off the whole system. If i turn of the monitor power it will hang on for few sec and then turn off again.
I upgraded my computer last month b4 that my ups was working fine.
My new upgrade
AMD athlon 2x 4 2.6 ghz 620 ( overclocked it to 3.0 ghz)
Asrock n-68s
2gb ram
ATi radeon 4670 512 ddr3
19" crt montor (Didnt upgrade)
80 gb hdd (DIDnt upgrade)
lg dual layer dvd writer.(Didnt upgrade)
Do you think my UPS is spoiled or this is happening dude to the less watt output by UPS then my computer which is using at the moment. I have a 450w smps and i guess my computer is using all of the 450 w.
My UPS model- APC black-UPS ES 500
I am really having hard time playing multiplayer games, cause there is too much of powercut now and then. most of the powe cuts are just for few sec.
So guys do you think my ups is soiled or does it have a low watt capacity, which is causing the problem.
If i have to change the UPS, can u guys suggest me a "CHEAP" UPS which can handle my computer. please suggest me APC+ other models
Solution
According to the manual the yellow light indicates that the UPS is supplying power from the battery. When plugged into the mains, the green light should be lit.
You didn't mention if you tried it with the mains connected. If it works in this mode, it may simply be a case of a dead battery.
Even with a non working battery, a UPS make a terrific line filter. Replacement batteries are advertised at less than 20 USD.
2. Ups not working
To switch the UPS on, you need to press and hold the on/off/test button for more than a second. Until the green light comes on.
3. Setting up UPS (NOT WORKING!)
So I have been trying to figure this blasted thing out and am now to the point where I need to ask for help. I have read other threads, but they do not seem to help thus far.
I am trying to set up the stupid calculator. I have played around with the UPS module and the UPS (XML) module. All I get are errors when I try and test the purchase of a product...
