Goo in Toshiba Portege X20W-E 2-in-1 @ Bufferstock

So I got the LAST one and it's delivered today.

The left hinge of the laptop is like a treasure trove of mystery brown goo— Took forever to scrub some of it off, and now I'm questioning life choices. It remains unclear what the substance is and whether it poses any safety risks Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3 Pic 4
The battery is so worn out, it can only hold a charge up to 68% of its original capacity. Pic 5 (I'm not too sure about this, what do you guys think?)

    I think I'd return that. And I can see why it's the last one.

    They advertised it as 'Backlit KB Touchscreen With Sleeve and Brand new Battery', and "Brand New Toshiba Battery Installed".

    return it as it was not as advertised and cross fingers they don't charge you a 20% restocking fee.

  • Their listing clearly states that it will be a new battery. Just return it under that reason. Maybe take screenshots of the listing for future reference.
