I thought you meant some kind of solder paste or slag but that looks like
broken off pieces of a heatsink retention bracket or something like that.

Subject: [AFMUG] Grey stuff coming off a circuit board - what is this stuff?

 

I received a used Arista switch, and I noticed it rattled. I opened the
cover and dumped out this grey debris.  I looked on the circuit board and I
see the stuff clearly came from some kind of border around the switch's
ASIC.  

 

What is this stuff?  

 

Is the switch likely to operate without it?
