autoboot problem after the power back on emachine-T2042 model

[Zscoundrel]

I have a couple of surplus UPS's that only need batteries to make 'em 
operational.  All have been tested with new batteries (not included) and 
appeared to work normally.  The batteries are available locally for $65 
- $70.

I would be willing to part with 'em now that winter is coming to make 
room in the garage for other projects.
