Hello!
My current power supply is as stated above stuck in the "on" switch. It was already like that out of the box; brand new . I know, I should have returned it immediately that time but --- mistakes were made and here I am now.
The thing is, I think its killing my UPS since my ups can't fully boot well. Every time I turn on my UPS it doesn't have time to switch its power either to main or battery (im not sure how it works) but I think its messing up its charging capabilities. Now my UPS is just a glorified surge protector and it wont even stay on for a split second when there are power fluctuations at home. My pc just dies and restarts. Mind you, if there are no fluctuations the PC works totally fine and so as the UPS/PSU.
My main question is, will it be okay to just unplug either the main power cord connecting to the PSU or the main plug connected to the UPS before turning the UPS on.
To make it clear; I would like to --- Turn on UPS -> Plug the cord to UPS - > Turn on PC or will it be safer to Turn on the UPS then plug the cord to the back of the PSU?
Do note that, the PSU switch is stuck at "on" so plugging it to any live source of electricity worries me a lot.
I know, I should just buy a new PSU but I dont have the budget now. Also, im sorry if this questions is confusing thank you!
PSU: seasonic 520w m12
UPS: APC backup UPS 625
