so I go downstairs with it and I'm about to file an RMA, and I think "hmm, maybe it just doesn't like the UPS? better check before I RMA it".

so I plug it into an IEC cable downstairs, bridge PS_ON, and bam! works.

so is it the UPS????

I go back upstairs, try again, yup still dead. and I'm still seeing 230V.

I grab a new IEC-IEC lead to test another port on the UPS, and it works! so what, one of the UPS ports is somehow presenting 230V but... not good enough 230V to work? wtf
