Necessity mother of all invention

I will go straight to the point, with the number of house increasing in my locality no of AC unit has also increased , so the net effect is overload on the existing electricity network. Near 10 pm
the voltage starts to oscillates because of the repeated switching of the AC units .
Now what it has to do with me, this fluctuation is screwing up my pc. Of course i have UPS but it has aged and needs a battery replacement. I decided to go for new UPS which will do safe shut down of the pc when the battery power become very low. and the episode of buying has already been talked in my previous entry ....
Now my hard disk which had an windows installation, because of the improper shut down, some dll has got corrupted, which i have immediately replaced by downloading from the net. Later when i read the review regarding the dll downloads, it was reported such operation are not safe, any way the mistake has already has been committed, my pc now is in running condition but it hangs frequently.
The major event was when repeated power breakage completely thrashed my hard disk, my hard disk as an physical entity was not detected during boot. I was able to hear a different sound coming out. In order to isolate the sound i removed the sata drive. Later in order to test the hard disk i kept the sata device out side my pc , reboot and the i was able to hear same sound.
Fine i have found the source of the sound but my hard disk still does not work. I remember in my colleagues house the sata drive was kept upside down, i did the same and my hardisk started to work, got lucky . Immediately i moved the data from "my documents" to another partition, a partition which can be accessed from linux .

The IT depot

I had recently brought an UPs from a vendor called IT depot in Thirvamiyur. I had questioned him whether the UPS will shut down the pc if power is down , he checked and reported back to me that it will shut down the pc. What i actually meant was if the power goes down and the battery power is low , then will the UPS will automatically shut down the pc using the shut down option ?.

I went home opened it and found that there was no support for monitoring the battery power other than the usual beep sound. I thought may be that was the only model available . The next day i visited there website surprisingly two models were listed one low end model , which
was sold to me , and the other model model which actually i wanted to buy .

I decided to call them and talk about this issue. I rang them thrice before i was able to contact the person who was handling me yesterday. He came up on the phone and i told what issue was. He replied back that i have to go APC website and down load the software. I questioned him
how can i run the software if there were no connectivity between the pc and ups, but still he repeated the same thing. Later i mentioned the listing of the products on there website, he immediately check and replied back the product was not in distribution . What i do not understand is when a product is listed on the official website these vendors are claiming that the product is not distributed , either what he is telling is not true or the big UPS company sucks big time by not keeping there website update.

Moral of the story is when u go to the vendor place do talk with logic, just list out the feature u want . At the end of the day i acted like an ass and got it certified .
