ROC heat damage

(Oct 15, 2012) ROC 15 is in therapy for the transceiver connector repair. Sal P pointed out some discolored areas on the back of the board, indicated by the arrows.
A closeup through Sal's magnifier shows what looks like areas of the board that got cooked, reaching a temparature high enough to melt solder. The little caps slide around a bit and are held in place by the gap-pad material.
The discolored sites are near the edge of the board. The middle looks fine.
