This UPS-SL650 was brought to me and the complaint was no power.

I found the ON/OFF knob in the front panel was broken.

But fortunately I had a spare from another similar unit, so it was replaced.

Note the number of pins is not equal, therefore the ON/OFF knob had to be replaced from one front panel to the other one.

When the device was tested some troubles appeared, and when I put my magnifying glass to look at the circuit board, see what appeared now:

dry joint

There was a burnt solder joint in the PCB.

As you can see from the above photo, the connector was extracted and it was fully damaged, therefore as I had no spare connector I had an idea: to substitute this pin for a long wire (in case in some other time any tech has to extract this connector the cable is long enough to permit this action) soldered in the same track.

By the way the contacts of the five relays were re-soldered, and the same with some other cold solder joints there were in the circuit. Look at the following photo how was the device before closing it.

I replaced the battery also because it was not in good condition.

The UPS was tested and look at the result:

Mission accomplished, another electronic device saved from the dump.

    Hey Humberto,

    Thanks for your article. I wonder if it was a voltage spike that caused the problem in the first place or just arcing across cold solder joints? It certainly did a bit of damage! Just as you did, sometimes you have to use your imagination in your repairs, especially when the correct parts are not available.

    Well done!

    Hi Mark, I can say that this kind of malfunctions are typical in this model of UPS, most of the times when the original baterry die. In my opinion they are poorly made. Thanks for your opinion.

      Hi, I'm from Cuba, I have one with that good connector, the LEDs and the ignition button are on the front connector, if you remove the plate and look at it from above, from right to left the pins 1 and 2 are the ignition button; the 3y4 backup led; 5y6 line led; 7y8 fault led. I hope it serves you if you have any questions write me my address is gmail jrodrigueztvs. If you have this type of backup I need you to send me the plans of how the internal cables of this are, or pictures or something that illustrates how the cables go to the board, the transformer and the outlets. Beforehand thank you very much

    Hi, I'm from Cuba in advance congratulations for your excellent work, I hope everyone did the same. the case is that I recently received a UPS-SL650 UPS but I had all the internal cables cut I saw that on your page have that model and repaired what I wanted is to ask me photos or some plan of how to reconnect everything again. If I could I would buy another one, but that's what there is. I hope you help me and thanks in advance.
