Had to replace a failing DVD reader in my primary system.. decided to scan the caps. Found another bad one by the back of the AGP slot.. Ost brand! 6.3v 1000 mfd. Replaced it with a new ESR 10v. 1000 mfd one.
I know, time to replace an older mobo style.. but then will have to go with a new OS version too. Will run XP until its end of acceptance.

Symptom: UPS goes Off under charge
Case Opened:

Oders: A couple of loose resistors (soldered vertically to the PCB, is it my idea or resistors in vertical allways get loose)

You can re-open that UPS in a few months. Taicon is a known bad brand. Put in Nichicon, Chemicon or Rubycon...
