I have a Omni 1000 LCD, which is about a year old and it is dead. Before completly going dead it began to be dead and after unplugging the unit and then plugging it back in it worked fine. This went on for several weeks and now it doesn't work at all. What do you feel is the problem? Thanks, Al

ok, 10 year old laptop
step1 , as always remove the old dead shorted huge battery first.
run now? it will on AC for every if you want.
Led Glowing tell not much its just and LED, so dont look at them if on, unless and LED blinks codes. ok?
what matters is power, power is first. no power no joy, ever.
so out the battery now.
Put in a new RTC coin cell battery next 7 year life rated you are 3 years past that at 10 years old, (end of useful life that)
next is fans, , ok fan is on.
next is what, TEXT got TEXT ON SCREEN>? ANY THING??
I guess ZERO SCREEN anything of any kind>.
we next use a flash light, this PC has crummy , CCFL back lamp tubes that when dead screen goes, dead, as most have this old.
only few never used laptops last 10 years old.
so with the flash light (dark room) at an angle shin the LCD
see data, now on the screen, yes, that is a DEAD CCLF.
on ebay you see them selling new CCLF screens for this PC.

my bet the CCFL are dead. as most are this old.
All laps this old fail in this order,
BIG battery goes bad or shorts.
COIN cell dead.
CCLF dead ( ended about year 2010 , LED back lamps began)
HDD dead at 5 to 10 years old.

this is all Expected. all from carbon14 dating a PC, I can say that.
yours is 2008 made.

If it blows a fuse when powered on, it has a dead short somewhere. Old units do this when the capacitors (filters) get old and dry out. These create dead short circuits. I recommend going through the unit and change out the bad ones. They can usually be spotted easily. They look like little cans glued on the board with an "X" on top. They are usually blue, gray, or black. The X on top is a weak spot allowing the top to open or pop up when they go bad.

The UPS is either off, has a dead battery or is dead. Does the UPS power anything at the surge only outlets? If it doesn't, it's off or dead. Turn it on and check again.

The Omni 100 VS does not have a user-replaceable battery or other parts. If the battery or UPS is dead, replace it.

I hope this helps.

(when the UPS is off but connected to power, the battery should charge.)

CFFL lamps dead, or its inverter, 99% on CCFL tubes. bad.
all screens this old do that, they have short life...
why not upgrade , go to used PC store get any PC there, 2010 or newer, that has no CCFL (has LED back lamps)
and a future. best is one with W7 COA sticker on bottom.

XP aND vista ARE DEAD OS now, not safe at all on the internet
nor does PnP work now, at MS.com
why even mess with old tubby CCFL laptops?

carbon14 dated at 1999 , (as old as) its 18 years old.
most are in the land fill, 99% or more.
or shipped to N.korea for CAUSE.

Be aware.

My Tripp LIte Omni 1000 LCD almost caught on fire.
I had been experiencing a spike in my power bill to the tune of 1000 Watts an hour for everything running - 24x7. I started the survey of all my equipment; TV 162 Watts; Fridge 228, etc. but none of these devices are on all day and night. I finally mapped out all the outlets and lights and was about to begin the survey. Other than the flickering lights, one big clue was that my TL's lcd was displaying a spike in voltage DOWN to 95 or so, the relay would click, etc.

I decided to begin my survey and use my second TL to help me see which circuit was faulty. When I looked at the LCD, it was blank. I pushed the ON button and all the devices plugged in went OFF and then I saw smoke coming out of the back. I quickly unplugged everything and then watched my meter. When this UPS was plugged in, there was about 1000W used per hour; I monitored it for 10 hours; 400W were used (total).

So... not only was it a fire hazard, but it sucked up 900W or so an hour.

Hi!

Your keyboard is 2 year old means you didn’t get replacement Form Company however now you need to buy new one.

Thanks

Turn UPS on: Press and hold the ON/OFF button for one second.
Run a Self-Test: Press and hold the MUTE/TEST button for two seconds (until alarm beeps several times).
The test will last 10 seconds. All LCD Display icons will be illuminated and the alarm will sound.
If the fault icon remains lit, the battery-supplied outlets are overloaded. Unplug powered devices until you remove the overload.
If the "Replace" icon remains lit and alarm continues to sound, the UPS batteries need to be recharged or replaced. Allow UPS to charge for 24 hours and repeat self-test.

I have the same exact problem. Any luck on getting this covered under warranty?

Have your supply voltage and frequency checked under load.
