❓ Help Is my UPS now damaged? Palit UPS na ba?

[ceejaybassist]

What is this liquid sa board ng UPS ko?
Is it from the "blown" caps?
Di ko alam kung blown nga since it's still intact (from the ***** eye).
Nung una akala ko is glue siya. But when i tried touching it via the tip ng screw driver ko, it's really liquid.
The battery (13 month old) is hindi naman siya lumobo or what.
I tested the battery and 12.2v-12.25v pa rin siya.
This UPS is 5 years old now, if I remember it correctly.

The symptoms are:

• Initital symptom: Bigla na lang tumunog na para bang palobat na kahit naka-plug naman (probably no to minimum load since nakapatay naman PC ko, just waiting for it to WOL). Tinry ko i-off (na hindi hinuhugot sa saksakan), the alam is still there. Tinry ko hugutin sa saksakan. Nawala yung alarm. Sinaksak ko ulit, after 1 minute, nag-alarm na naman.
• I opened it, and during opening it (siyempre upsidedown siya since nasa ilalim yung screw niya), a few liquid (na di ko napansin) was slowly coming out of the case.
• After opening, tried removing the red/black connectors to test the battery, and 12.2-12.25v pa rin naman siya.
• After ko ibalik conenctors, charging light (blinking orange) is there even if hindi naman naka-plug at hindi rin naka-on yung UPS.

So palit UPS na ba 'to since intact naman (physically and voltage-wise) yung battery na 13 months old pa lang.
