Failed Odosun 1000 lumen 12W LED Light Bulb Disassembeled

I bought an Odosun 1000 lumen 12W LED light bulb some time ago. I took it from a local shop in Bucharest and I paid about 9 dollars for it. After 8 months it started exhibiting intermittent functionality and after a day or two it stopped working completely.
I disassembled it and took some pictures. Maybe this will be useful for someone out there :)

Upon visual inspection I found that the glass of the bulb was cracked.  The bulb was mounted horizontally into a metal ceiling light fixture. The crack appeared on top towards the metal fixture so I assume it was caused by the heat. There was very little space between the bulb and the metal, just a few millimeters.

Below you can see some pictures of the damaged bulb.
I removed the glass with some pliers. Below you can see the leds on a metal plate fixed with 2 screws. Two wires are coming down from beneath through a hole in the middle of the plate. The soldering does not look very good.
I unscrewed the plate. In the image below you can see how the bulb looks like with the LED plate removed. The LED plate is shown from above and below.
Then I removed the E27 metal mount and removed the PCB which was fixed with some kind of glue. The base of the bulb is made of aluminium covered with plastic as can be seen in the picture below.
I then cleaned the PCB and took some pictures of it from above and below. I also included the metal base seen from different angles.
