i wonder why they didnt ask questions

>>1040986
u can always try to peal it off, maybe you'll have 2 controllers working.

>>1040986
loks like termal conductive glue or hot glue just peel it of if you dont need it
dosnt the casing on that part shorting out the integrated circuit?

Looks like someone used shitty glue to pin down a clock crystal to stop it flapping around. Be careful if you peel it off it might rip the crystal pin off the board and they've probably used that type because the surface mount i would have expected to see has fallen off.

looks like a old bubblegum

take it off, and apply pic related lifehack

thank me later

I guess they fucked up the design and had to use a pass-through oscillator that couldn't fit in the enclosure. They used that silicon paste to hold everything together.

>So we received a non-working microcontroller at work and the provider replaced it without asking any question. I decided to open it out of interest and that's what I found. Is that thermal paste? Is that a technique I didn't know about? How the fuck does that happen?

Looks like a piece of ham...

its silastic, the same shit they put on capacitors and other bigger components to prevent them from flapping around in the breeze

this or something equivalent
It's in cell phones, switching power supplies, and all kinds of electronic devices

We should do a go fund me for a voice box transplant for that poor fellow.

inorite? dave's voice is like having coil whine inside your back teeth.

but instead of making the biggest guy bigger, why not buy mikeselectricstuff a couple of studio lights and a macro lens that actually fucking focuses? or teach mrcarlsonslab the meaning of tl;dr?

You found all that inside of the microcontroller?

I fondly remember this song my friends and I would sing in 2nd grade, far before youtube was around.
"My dingding is flapping in the breeze, and whenever I hang it out to take a whiz, people say OOH LA LA and have sex with it"
Thanks for the memories, anon.

fuck off, Dave
