I think we need to start from scratch here and have the OP describe what the device is, what it is supposed to do, what it is not doing and then take it from there.
Globs of glue, dribbled, such as what appears to be Evo-stik or something similar, are sometimes used for 'mechanical stability' as indicated by picbits and tvtech.
Additionally, as indicated by picbits, the transistor appears to have already been replaced using a hot-air-pencil and during replacement, the tech scorched the side of C44.
Why did the transistor need replacing and has the transistor failed again, due to something else being at fault?
Let's start from the beginning.
