    Repair made today, and my old Back-Ups RS 1500 now comes online. I have another one that is still chugging along, but now I know the fix for that one if it ever acts up.
    Welcome to the forum another device saved from the landfill
    Good work with fixing your device

        Hello from Spain,
        I'd changed C40 only because C41 came from factory with a standard capacitor and it was ok. Now my UPS reads input voltage with a correct value. Thank you everyone.

          Depending on how old this battery backup is it might be advisable that you recap the board with all brand new capacitors that are under 100uf because they are known to dry out from many hours of use even high quality brand capacitors do the same thing but it takes a lot longer for this to happen

            Cyberpower cps1500avr not charging batteries
            by carrzkiss
            Hello, all.

            Cyberpower Battery Backup Unit.

            I bought two new ML18-12 batteries through Amazon (They have already refunded my money for the two batteries as we thought the batteries might have been bad.)
            When I got them in, they were not fully charged. I connected them to the UPS and waited 24 hours before connecting any networking equipment.
            In parallel, they read 24v, but within 24 hours, the meter on the front of the unit dropped from 4 to 3 bars on the battery charge indicator.
            Checking the voltage, it was down to 22v.
            I quickly removed everything...

            Where do repair shops buy MB replacement batteries?
            by howardc64
            Order my parts from mobilesentrix.com and iPhone batteries have been excellent. Recently got 3x bad A1534 (2015) batteries. All would work until ~30-40+% and drop to < 10% instantly. Typical sign of cheap batteries.

            Perhaps the less popular A1534 model's aftermarket batteries are more source limited. Just find it surprising quality from mobilesentrix (usually fairly high quality aftermarket parts) have been so poor.

            BTW, this isn't the only defective parts I've had from mobilesentrix. Amongst others including iPad Air touch screen and A1989 touch bar (display was...

            How can I be sure that my EC chip is dead?
            by double_DD
            Hi all,

            As the title suggests, how can I be sure that my EC chip is really dead?

            I've recently gotten into this hobby of laptop repairs, and have successfully brought back to life a couple with some easy fixes, mostly shorted caps.

            Now I'm working on HP Probook 455 G8, that had some "devil" run around on 3V line, burning a bunch of stuff. Luckily I have a dead 455G7 (for spare parts) so I managed to fix it (swapped burned parts) to a point that it will charge (both on barrel jack and usb-c), but it doesn't want to turn on. There is a 3V3 on a keyboard...

            Fixing the Charge Circuit of the Batteries of the DC Motor
            by Astonished
            Hi friends of electronics

            What you see in the video and pictures attached is the circuit for charging the batteries of a DC motor.

            The problem is that this circuit cannot charge the batteries (3 1800mAH NiMH batteries) any more. When the circuit was OK, its green LEDs lit up one at a time to show that the batteries have charged more. But now that the circuit is flawed, LEDs light up as you see in the video and at the same time successive beeps are heard.

            Please help me fix this circuit.

            UPS ruins batteries every three months
            by davidebaldini
            Problem description:

            My UPS requires new batteries every ~3 months; in this time frame, an average of about 5 to 10 power flickers or short power interruptions (< 2 minutes) occur. After an average of 3 months, a new pair of batteries begins to fail to keep the UPS up during any flicker or power interruption. The load it powers is a single computer/workstation running 24/7 with a continuous consumption between 200W to 300W.

            UPS model:
            The Atlantis 1001 is a non-inexpensive (~120€ back then) home/office offline UPS, rated 1000VA, 600W, designed for two 7Ah...
