As you can see there were three bulged e-caps and a lot of dry solder joints and the PCB was
black in some places indicates heating problem in the components.

The three e-caps (2 x 1000µF/35v and 1 x 220 µ F/35v) were replaced.

The dry solder joints were reestablish with fresh tin and the new battery was replaced.

When the device was connected into the AC-mains and switched on, it was switching continuously
from Normal operation to Back Up operation (inverted mode) once and again.

At this time the job continued, my first doubt were the relays, therefore they were extracted from
the circuit.

They were checked with a DC Power Supply and a Digital Multimeter, and all of them were ok. The
components situated around the five relays were checked one by one with the DMM, and know
what? A crystal diode was de-soldered from the circuit, I realized from this situation by chance
because I was touching some components with the tips of the DMM

The relays were re-connected again. This time the UPS was tested with the connection of the AC-
mains and look at the result .

Good job getting it fixed, Humberto. The new e-caps look like cheap ones and may not last very long.

Hi!
Nice job done, congratulation!
I have questions about you repair result:
1. Is the man AC voltage in your country 110v/60Hz?
2. I hope the UPS did not work on an output voltage of 98V or under?

I had some trouble with testing relay's before, some time they worked when I tested them but actually they was
bad. So I decide to make a small tester for relay's with a micro controller and a PC software.
I connect the relay to the uC and let them toggling on some frequency's
and I count how many times was the relay powered on and how many times where the working contact shorted
and that is sent to my PC.
I test relays for 2-5 min's.
The result should be like this: one power on should indicate one closing contact ( or releasing ). If there is some
difference between the power the coil of the relay and the closing of the working contact then the relay failed.
There is simpler ways too to achieve this result but this was for me an easy task and I love to work with uC...

However, god job done.

My best regards.

Hi Chris 110v/60Hz in my country, the 98v is due to a new Baterry, remember it had to be charged first, that's
why the 98V. When it was just repaired I performed that measuring with my DMM.
Thanks anyway.

Hi Humberto. nice repair. Thanks! I also liked the post Chris wrote about testing relays. It could be a very handy
tool as DIY relay tester project! Indeed Relay contacts tend to get bad after many high current switching
moments. The only way to normally be able to see this, is to open them. With the solution of Chris you don´t
have to.

Hi All,
Galco Repairs,Global Electronics Service and many well known repair companies experts directly
changed Relay, Opto-Isolator even they found good after load test. The reason for that is these
components work very frequently and in high speed switching in UPS or other Types of Inverters.That is
why their repairing is not just repair but refurbished equipment.
