The wiring fault light should stay on in that case.

I don't believe he has 30A... he was just hacking the plug to make it
work (get around the blade orientation).  

To the OP: you might check for silly things like the 110/220 setting on
the unit, and also check unit fuses.  My 1920VA UPS has several fuses.

I used to have a UPS unit at $WORK that would refuse to boot up at all
if the batteries were dead.  We had to partially charge them before
putting them in the UPS.

Another possibility is that the batteries are dead or miswired.  The
momentary flash of life is usually what I see when that is the case.

If the wiring fault detector is working, it should remain lit, not just
flash.
