Question:

Is the white stuff on my power cable dangerous?

I was playing Call of Duty Black ops when i looked down at my mess of cables. I have a lamp the also plugs into the same power outlet. When i looked down my lamp(that i leave on 10 out of 24 hours of the day) had this white stuff on it. I didn't think too much of it at that time but i looked at it again later and i was nervous that it could be dangerous. Anyone have any idea's as to what it could and if it is dangerous? Will it continue to spread? I don't want my ps3 to be destroyed. I looked on the internet and it sounds like Battery post corrosion. Not sure though. Thank you very much.

Answer:

If you have batteries, then it could be these leaking acid, and in time, these will erode your equipment,any other corrosion,I would take as a sign to replace your equipment
dont use it unless you want a fire, get a new lamp from IKEA for $8. its better than burning your house down lol ya its some sort of corrosion. dont risk it bro
Corrosion! caused by oxidation, not dangerous Buy new wires, cables ect. Before it's to late
