Mark Furneaux | CyberPower UPSes Contain Conductive Yellow Glue of Death (+ Bonus Rev. 2 Dim LCD Fix) @TheUbuntuGuy | Uploaded May 2021 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
The CP1500PFCLCD and CP1350PFCLCD UPSes of at least rev 1 and rev 2 over the last 10 years contain yellow glue which becomes conductive and corrosive over time which can cause sometimes fiery failure. Also included is some ramblings of the notorious rev 2 LCD backlight failures and my attempt are rebuilding the backlight.
Timestamps:
0:00 Intro
8:18 Taking the unit apart
10:47 Glue locations
14:09 Rev 2 differences
19:05 LCD backlight fix
I do have access to a rev 3 unit, but have not taken it apart yet. I will update this once I know if it is also affected.
