When I switched on my UPS of my PC, I heard a big bursting sound. My Main Switch got tripped off and I had to switch it on. After that when I switched on my UPS, there was no problem and my PC works fine. What was the reason for that big sound?

    The sound was like like lighting a fire cracker. It is not same as to the sound I hear when the wall power goes out and your UPS supplies the power to your computer. There must be some other cause. Plz help me to find it out.

    The same problem occurred today after a long gap. There was no burnt smell form the UPS. The UPS still works normally after it burst. When the UPS is unplugged from the wall, it still gives power to the PC. The battery in the UPS is a new one which I got replaced recently. Why is it bursting with a sound and tripping the power?

It is an audible alert that it has come 'online'. This is the same sound you hear when the wall power goes out and your UPS supplies the power to your computer. It is meant to get your attention, in order to deal with any problems that may have surfaced.

Good luck!

    There is a telltale sign that goes hand in hand with electrical component failure: The smell of electrical fire, or burnt components. Get down by the UPS, and smell it.
    If there is any sign of burnt smell, then power down everything, unplug everything from the UPS, and the UPS from the wall. Open the UPS, and remove the battery while inspecting for charred or blackened residue as well as damaged parts internally. Be very careful not to touch the components on the circuit board to be safe. With the UPS unplugged from the wall, does it stay powered on? If not, the battery and the charging circuits have been damaged, and/or the battery has been compromised and should be replaced.
    Seek a replacement for the UPS if there are damaged components or possibly a reputable repair shop *IF* the UPS is worth repairing. (ex: is it fairly new, and of a quality construction, or is it disposable?)

    Good luck!

My astroflex 2100 has a code light flashing red light and the online manual said eight flashes means the main switch is off but the switch is in on position, what else could it be?

Main switch is Off, but the switch is in ON position? My God !!. What type of fault is this? I haven't heard such a fault Since 45 years of my service work. Strange Indeed. Only God can rectify this type of fault; I presume. Take a trip to him; with this TV on your shoulders!!

The turn on and off switch of the right hand speaker seems to be broken . I had the switch turn on and within a few minutes of it being on , heard a click , the green switch light went off and subsequently...

To it sounds more like it was a busted capacitor - a mechanical switch fails when in motion not standing. Open the back panel and test the switch. After you will most likely see that's ok start looking for the burst capacitor and has caused it to fail.

Online UPS producing big humming nosie and trip down

I think you are trying to save money, but I think it is time to let go of the unit and get another one.

If you are in the USA....I can help you with that replacement unit.

The problem with UPS is sometimes replacing them is better then repairing them. In their life time they see transits, impulses, black outs and all sorts of power issues that normally would blow out a computer. So the reliability factor is in the toilet by now.

You can contact me and I can send you a pdf or word doc. of any size UPS you might need at a afordable cost.
