I have a controller for an electric throw blanket that I would like to repair, but I have no experience soldering on boards

You can see at bottom left a yellow box and a resistor. Something has burnt out in this area, and likely both will need to be replaced at a minimum

I would also need help identifying parts. The yellow box is embossed ‘Tenta’ and has printed on the side ‘TC MEX/TENTAMKP 0.1 uf 275VAC’ with some other markings obscured or damaged

Is this an achievable project?

    It looks like a board where they indeed probably put the components on by machine, however without solder paste, since it was going through the wave solder anyway. But you would need to glue the components down then.

    That’s why there is so much excessive solder. If it was printed with solder paste, it wouldn’t have this much solder.
