We've all tried it, be honest

Mismatched kinks really are a bitch to live with...
I don't want to tell you to keep an open mind and give it a go every once in a while, but I think your UPS would really appreciate the effort
He fingered the socket of his PSU's IEC power connector. I suppose this worked because the plug had a loose connection and the moisture might have helped making that connection more solid
I had a similar issue where a dead PC was resurrected after swapping the power cable. It's never been a fix since, but I still try it.
If you don't test for it, it WILL rear its ugly head again.
