RIP
its the smell of a migraine
What is it?
Easy, just press rewind on the entropy controller
What it do? Sound? Power supply?
I'm betting on power supply. I think ACL means Alternating Current Live, and ACN is Alternating Current Neutral.
I think the component to the very right is a transformer.
Edit: The yellow box is a film capacitor, here is another image. The one in OP's image is rated for high voltage. So it's definitely taking in AC.
It's the internal power supply of a bar of LED garage lights. This one made a loud pop when I wired them all up.
The pad ripped off the board.
I was able to fix it by using an empty pin on the same circuit. Soldered a wire through it, then used a butt connector for the input line and the line to the other end of the LED bar.

Well put it back in
Im so glad it's still about the magic smoke that makes the little box think.
Tried to force the magic pixies back to work during their smoke break huh?
Yeah they'll refuse to work after that until you install at least a new smoking room, sometimes more. They've been know to trash the place in such events.
