ok, well, good news, the soundcard finally fixed itself after a few reboots. so, i guess that's not an issue anymore, still not sure why it did it tho

as far as the ups goes. i haven't tried it on another small device yet, i will try that. i've got 2 model numbers on the back, one is a sticker and one is part of the back label. one reads: model:LI660VA, the other MN:9910-B08.

the unit is a 660, so i highly doubt i'm overloading it. the apc 300 i've got running everything now doesn't seem to be complaining.

as far as testing the unit, it has onboard diagnostics and stuff. the battery voltage while plugged in generally reads abot 27 volts. input voltage is generally 119-121, output a steady 120. it generally reads while plugged in and stuff running a runtime of about 15 minutes. the system also reads about 55% usage with all my junk running, except machine startup usually jumps to 65%.

the error code, however, displays without anything plugged into the ups. generally it reads an 83 minute runtime this way. now turning it on by itself is getting just the dots in the readout blinking like the bginning of the self-test, it goes no further. i'm sure the batteries are gone, but i've been using that way for a while for protection. everytime the lights flicker, my computer dies. so, it hasn't provided battery protection for a while, but it still has worked.

anyway, i'm pretty sure i need new batteries, but i'm concerned that the unit has other problems now. bigben, i've been having some problems finding the papers, if you'd be nice enough to email me the docs, i'd *really* appreciate that. thanks for your help guys, hopefully i'll get this sorted out with just some battery purchase or something

oh yeah, something else that might be of interest. the power system in my apartment is *awful*. the worst power in history, i think. so, i run everything off 2 new outlets i had installed. but the setup ran on this power for a short time, and this ups did *not* like that power coming in. but, it's been running on the new power for several months with no problems. maybe that affected it?

thanks again
