    CyberPower CP1350PFCLCD - bad caps + ??

    CyberPower CP1350PFCLCD displayed fault code F03, indicating a failure of the charging circuit. Batteries were run down to 8.5 volts, they are known good used batteries that work fine in another UPS. The batteries charged back up to ~12.8 volts just fine outside the UPS, using my car battery charger.

    I opened up the case to get a look at the board, and found at one cap clearly blown out. Looks like the glue at the base of the cap aged and become conductive? There's more of the same glue in other spots. I plan to clean all that off, and then replace all the electrolytic caps.

    What else should I test?

    Here are a couple other pics.

    I tried to remove the push-on connectors for the heavy wires from the transformer and the back cover, but they are fighting me. Any special trick to getting those off? I tried using a pliers on one, and was worried that if I pulled too hard I would damage the board or the wire/connector.

      the male spade connectors can have a lock on them, and you need to push it in to release the connector. This lock lever is large, they are usually small and hard to see but work the same way.

        Thanks RJ, I'll see if I can find the release. Ran into those on a microwave a couple years ago, was suspecting these might be similar.

          In your first photo, it looks like an SMD diode (i think that's what it is) next to one of the capacitors blew its guts, the skidmark on the capacitor next to it would also indicate this.

          I'm not a expert, I'm just doing my best.

            Well the spade connectors are covered with heat shrink tape, so should I cut that off?

              Thanks Ruky, I'll check that out.

                Any luck in fixing this issue or any updates? I have a similar UPS with the same issue, immediate F03 error after powering it on.
                Haven't opened mine up yet to have a look, but after some googling this thread is the closest thing i've come across in trying to fix the issue.

                  CyberPower 1500 AVR here, approx 2010 vintage. Unit shutdown with a slight crack and ARC flash caught out of corner of my eye as I happened to be in the same room when it happened. Took it apart last night and the issues resemble OP issue, as well as two other Cyberpower repair threads I found on this forum. In all cases it seems that the cap next to the Viper chip got cooked / dried-out / & was failed. The Viper chip had to work harder and harder as a result, eventually shorting through the faulty glue. The capacitor (C3 I think) appears to have gotten so hot it melted a spot on its plastic wrapper.

                  I will replace ‘Lytics and test nearby passives. Will also check the (glass?) board fuse with the black shrink wrap on it. And I assume the Viper 22A chip will need replacing. If I get it working I'll also add a small heatsink to the STM Viper chip, and possibly wire the fame to run continuously at a slow (reduced voltage) speed. That's assuming it doesn't run continuously already - I don't actually know.

                    This is what I would recommend doing if I were troubleshooting this switching power supply

                    Here is what you need to do when you replace these parts put a 100 watt incandescent bulb in series ( instead of the main fuse if need be remove it ) if the light bulb is very bright and does not dim down to at least 45% or more then you could still have problems with this power supply

                      Great tip, thank you. Will definitely do this !

                        I would recommend you also try a 200 watt bulb as well if your light bulb is real bright and the power supply try to powering up but the 200 watt bulb does not give you as much current protection as a 100 watt bulb does so be aware of this

                          Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
                          by momaka
                          I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

                          For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

                          https://www.badcaps.net/filedata/fetch?id=3591772

                          It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

                          Heathkit IO-4205 Power Supply Caps
                          by eryjus
                          Hello,

                          First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

                          I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

                          I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."
                          ...

                          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...

                          Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000
                          by Paxman_Swede
                          Hello!

                          I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

                          The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

                          I have studied the board and...

                          Help with switching power supply caps
                          by captain150
                          I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
                          I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...
