Yeah I have seen some suggestions on electronic boards about using Loctite 608 Hysol epoxy. Hot glue on the plastic capacitor case and the PCB though could also be pretty clean, though I feel epoxy would may be more long term.I've read this is typically fixed using epoxy. I'd search for these keywords: lifted pad epoxy
Do you have any recommended exopy for this? Or is the Loctite 680 Hysol that I mentioned before good enough?That cap not being flush to the board seems like the main concern as you're not getting support. I believe a complete repair would involve removing the cap, epoxying the trace/pad back down to the PCB and soldering the cap back ensuring the base is sitting on the PCB getting mechanical support. Barring all that, as I can see not wanting to take a soldering iron to an expensive game, I would use 2 dots of epoxy on each side of the cap securing it to the PCB. I would not get any epoxy on the traces as a future more extensive fix would be getting that cap sitting flush and getting that trace and pad epoxied to the board. The 2 dots of epoxy on each side of the cap should hold it secure and keep that trace and pad from lifting anymore. I would stay away from CA based glues with plastic since it can craze it and leave that nasty white haze.
