I'm repairing a 16 channel Mackie 1604 mixing desk. On a large area of one pcb there is a distinctive scum pattern where a liquid has dried leaving a dried bubble lattice pattern. I somehow doubt it could be due to in-service drinks spill, due to where this patterning is, but is there a way of distinguishing deliberate at-manufacture from in-use ?
