Is that hot melt glue or something else?

Just answer the question.

Always Asian made gear, from about the 1980s onwards.

TV sets, VCRs, SMPSs anything where the maker felt it was a good idea to
glue things to the PCB.

Do a Google search on this NG under *" yellow glue".


At the hourly rates Americans charge it's cheaper to replace that
stuff than to have it repaired.
