It's not a 'moisture trap',

The glue gets carbonized due to excessive heat in the electrical
components, which makes the glue more conductive and more corrosive
(ie: it chemically changes the glue).

This causes havoc due to shorts (because it's conductive) and open
circuits (because it corrodes away circuit traces and component
leads).

** Correct.

The worst problems are always with gear that runs 24/7.

No chance for moisture ingress there.

Just because gear runs 24/7 does not exempt the possibility of moisture
intrusion.


** It does when the yellow glue areas are all permanently hot.
