not a matter of strength. 'fast' instead of 'slow'. also, there you go
using 'power cord'. 'power cord plug', never by 'power cord'.

i guess i am just 'old school' on that one. i use 1 ups for 'playstation
computer', 1 ups for 'file server' computer. 'external server', 'firewall
server' and 'router server' are on single ups until i can afford 2 more ups.

did you try known good power cord? even with pulling 'power cord plug',
wiring connections to plug can go bad just from handling.
maybe law of averages caught up to you. maybe it was just it's time.

give thought to 1 power strip with a switch per computer when running
more than one computer on a single ups. then you will not have to pull
'power cord plug'. unless switch on strip goes bad.
also, i do hope you are running 'apcups' or 'nut' on both computers.

open cover to see if fuse is blown. hopefully it would blow if problem
was a current surge. if fuse is blown, ask young friend to check diodes
to see if one or more of them shorted. also note if any resistors are
discoloured.
if your friend lucks out and finds such is case and able to repair,
ask him to add a switch. lacking of a switch is one more 'screw thee'
attitudes of oem.
