Hi kostij.

That looks like the residue caused by an acid on copper. Have you had any soldering work done recently - solder flux would react with copper (wire or printed circuitry) to give a green residue?

What model Vaio do you have?

If you have not had soldering work done recently, you need to get an engineer to look inside to find the cause of the liquid leakage.

Probably urgent looking at the amount or residue.

Green liquid on the adapter

OK i took my laptop to a technician. He cleaned it and told me that the liquid was only in the socket and not in the machine. The green colour was probably some kind of rust from inside the socket and that the liquid was caused by some kind of humidity. He cleaned it and gave it to me back.

The problem is that 2 days have passed and its the same all over again and im a bit frustrated.. ill contact vaio support again

Edit: Just got contacted by vaio support and they are replacing my adapter. They were very helpful and i hope that would be the end of this situation
