Does anyone know what this weird green stuff is on the back of this motherboard? Looks like it could be spillage from something but im not too sure.

    1. It looks like flux to me. It’s used to help remove soldering compound. Sony uses a tin based compound rather than lead so it can be difficult to remove.

      Edit: poor grammar

      Could be leftover flux from the soldering process. You can clean it with 90% Isopropyl alcohol.

    3. Could be a leaky cap or two causing that, but in all honesty it looks like dried flux. With older MB’s you sometimes see this. As long as it’s not causing any issues with booting it’s not that much of a worry.
