Belkin UPS no power when plugged inI have one of these that just stopped working for no reason.. No power goes to any outlets when plugged in, while I don't have it on me right now what could be the possible source of it failing like that? |

I'd say either a fuse tripped or blown or worse, a defective unit or something blown in the power conditioning section. |

Personally, I wouldn't even bother with attempting to fix that particular unit...  Take a look at the Size of the Backup Battery... (That's gotta be TINY)... While it may hold up to a Momentary Power "Glitch", but just How many Amp-Hours can it provide (is it enough Run-Time to allow you to Gracefully Shut Down the protected PC in the event of an Actual power failure?)  I'd suggest getting a Bigger/better unit, one with more Battery Capacity/Reserve Run-Time...  -Tursiops_G. |

If the unit has screws on the back, you can open it up and see if any items are burned or out of place, or you can just buy a new one for less than 44 bucks (relatively cheap). I'd just get a new one, if it were me. Likely you would have to spend time ID'ing what you need to buy in order to fix it, and then go find a place to buy it. |

My experience with Belkin units (some 15 of them) has been between bad and awful - from units simply failing to others overheating so much that you couldn't touch them. |

After 3 yrs. of sitting (especially in a Power-Off state), I'd be willing to bet Dollars to Doughnuts that the Battery in that thing has long since Sulphated itself, and is now Kaput... -Tursiops_G. |

Sorry to hear that your Belkin UPS experiences have been bad. I have a BU3DC000-12V (» www.belkin.com/gatewaybattery/), which was originally intended for use with AT&T U-Verse (but I am using it for something else). No idea how old it is, since I bought it used, but it has been trouble-free so far. In the U-Verse forum, I haven't seen any significant complaints about this unit, so perhaps Belkin got this model right. |
