*Hi. I have a UPS that is not functioning correctly. It's an APC
"Professional Powercell" 250 watt
unit that is at least 5 years old.
*When there is a power outage, it beeps loudly but there is no current
to the outlets (computer is plugged to this).
*I took out the 12 v lead battery and it tests 13 volts.
*I pushed the *"re-set" button.
*I dismantled the case ("no user serviceable parts) and there is a
note to use only the same size fuse. Well there is no indication where
the fuse is,and I believe this may be the problem since at one time I
had too much stuff plugged in (not being aware of it's 250 W limit).
* There is an orangish part that looks like a plastic plug-in
automobile fuse that says"40" on top and on the solder side says "40A
32V". I checked from this side and it has continuity,plus the element
in it appears solid.
*Would there be a fuse somewhere else? I don't see one.
*Also I see a "APCC (C) 1993" on the board so maybe this thing is that
old.
*What else would cause this failure?
*I consider this a learning opportunity,and I am a cheap so-and-so and
will not be paying the big bucks for a new one any time soon!
*Your advice greatly appreciated.-Brian


That is the fuse but there is probably also a circuit breaker on the
back panel. If tripped a small blade will pop out. What model is it?- Hide quoted text -

The model is; "Professional Powercell" s/n; C94093679593 and yes,
it has the little blade that says "push,reset" around it (which I
did). Maybe this thing is toast,but I don't quit on stuff very easily.
Thx. BrianA
