I learned another interesting thing about APC UPS units earlier this year.
Just because they don't turn on at all, doesn't mean they are broken. 
Almost always, it is a bad battery issue.  

Without a decent battery, some will not turn on at all.  Removing the
battery and plugging it in the wall will still prevent it from turning on. 
The battery must be installed.

I probably threw away many that worked before I knew this.  Now, I replace
the battery as the first step.
