Sloppy I agree ! I have seen this done several times ! On two
occasions by the same plonker.
Rather than find and cure the fault, this guy used the foam to stop a
short circuit (that he couldn't find) from killing the PSU !! A simple
observation would have shown the solder splash that caused the
problem ! Which incidently only could/would have occurred on that
particular make/model of case !
I note that you mention a PSU issue ?? I wonder ??
