Did liquid seep out of the laptop adapter?

Question

Do it yourself

For some time there was a very high voltage in the network, because of this, the adapter from the laptop overheated and began to stink strongly, but not burnt plastic, the smell is more like an electrolyte from a car battery. In addition, an oily liquid appeared at the seams of the adapter and from the side of the cable. What kind of liquid could it be? Is it worth trying to turn on the laptop through this adapter (I'm afraid that the laptop will burn out)?

Answer 1

The electrolyte leaked from the capacitors. If you try to turn it on, then most likely nothing terrible will happen, but the laptop will not charge either :) Without an electrolytic capacitor, the PSU cannot hold the load, if it is explained in a very simple way. So go to the store.
You can fix it yourself, but given that you can buy a new PSU for less than 1000 rubles, I would buy a new one. Most power supplies from laptops are very unpleasantly dismantled + stink + not the fact that something else has not burned down there.

Answer 2

“Doctor, when I eat, an oily fluid comes out of my nose. Maybe I don’t eat - I’m afraid to die?

Service urgently. Or buy a new adapter.

Answer 3

Capacitors most likely leaked, either disassemble and solder new ones (but with capacitors, other power elements could also fail - you need to check), or buy a new adapter (better).

Answer 4

Is it worth trying to turn on the laptop through this adapter (I'm afraid that the laptop will burn out)?

If the goal is research, then it's definitely worth a try. Then tell.
After all, what would the world look like if the Montgolfier brothers and the Wright brothers hadn't tried?

Answer 5

If in doubt, don't eat.

Answer 6

The capacitor probably burned out, electrolytic, approximate parameters are 400 volts, 100 microfarads.
A distinctive feature is that it is the largest.
Disassemble the block, with a knife, solder.
Well, it is necessary to rinse the board with alcohol and dry it, of course.
Laptop power supplies are usually non-separable. then you have to glue it.

Answer 7

Thank you all, incl. for the removal of karma. I ordered a new adapter from YouTube.

Answer 8

There are only a few worthy systems that are actively used, developed and maintained:
Zabbix
Munin
Zenoss (it seems to support nagios plugins)
Nagios
Opsview (based on nagios)
Each of the systems out of the box provides very, very basic functionality, you will have to finish a lot by hand (in this case also pull Drupal). Therefore, you should not bother much with the choice. For an infrastructure like yours, any of the above will do.
I use Zabbix, in some places OpsView. The last one is easier.

Answer 10

monitoring systems and a dozen normal ones will not be typed, where did you drown there then?

Answer 11

I join zabbix.

Answer 12

Zenoss (free core, paid some enterprise plugins, can eat plugins/configs from nagios)
Zabbix
Nagios (Ininga and other forks)

Answer 13

In my opinion, the easiest website monitoring is: inspector-s.online
