[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1043479, member: 56379"] Did APC actually physically examine & test your UPS...or was this all a phone conversation? Like anything...individual setups & usage vary...and the recommendations from APC may only be based on statistical averages they've calculated. It could certainly be something else (not the battery)...but given what you described (UPS works with a lamp but not the computer)...I'm only suggesting that a weak UPS battery could be the problem. The only way you will know for sure (short of taking the UPS to be serviced...which would probably cost almost as much as a new UPS)...is to get a new UPS. By the way...can I assume that if you plug your iMac directly into the wall socket that it works fine? - Nick [/QUOTE]
