How to remove UPS speaker to get rid of the annoying beep forever
If you happen to have a Computer UPS and are living in a 3rd world country with a lot of power outages then this is for you. Be warned that it may void the warranty of your UPS if there happens to be a warranty sticker somewhere which will rip apart if you open the UPS. In my case, there was no warranty sticker.
The beep is very loud and can get on your nerves. Even if you get used to it, other people around you won’t enjoy it each time there is power outage. Yes it indicates things like when there is a power outage or when its battery is about to run out but that can be told from the LEDs on the UPS it self and I think you should know what not to run on UPS to “overload” it. This is why I did not consider the beeping speaker of UPS to be of any importance to me and removed it.
It can be very annoying in middle of the night when UPS is running and there is a power outage, it disturbs your self as well as of everyone around you. Anyway, without further ado, here is the procedure to remove UPS speaker to get rid of the beeping sound.
