Factory mod or something else?

[Ravepants]

Hi Peeps,

Whilst taking apart my atomiswave for cleaning I noticed what looks like a mod on the board, not sure if this is factory (looks way too amateur for that) or something else?

It came from China, so I was guessing maybe it was some sort of region mod, but I really don't know,any ideas?

It boots and works perfectly fine with all my original and bootleg carts.

I've seen that before and to me is factory (and just does look as amateur as Sega factory jobs BTW ).

It’s a factory repair found in early revisions.
