/diy/ - Do It Yourself

this area doesnt look good. that black crud could be leakage from the cap but it could also be a carbonized area of the PCB. carbonized areas tend to become conductive, and will even give off a bit of smoke and flame if there's enough voltage. only way to fix that is to drill or file them out, and redo the circuitry elsewhere, either in the air above it, or on a separate piece of perfboard.

those 4 diodes, for example, could easily be soldered to the rectifier bridge. this assumes some skill, of course.
