Here I have this board (E59670) it was in an old monitor I have, it already noticed a swollen capacitor and I am going to replace it, but I also noticed that there is a part of the board that is kinda darker than the whole board, what is it?
here is a picture

Since the darkening is possibly "above" the large silver heat sink (depending on the installation orientation) could just be heat discoloration.

I agree it looks like heat discoloration, but I doubt it's from the heatsink below because of its location. I see jumpers, so it's likely a single layer PCB. Is there anything on the reverse of the PCB in that area?
