My sister got glue in my computer?
I want to know how to get gorilla glue out of my charger port. My little sister broke my charger and she tried to fix it before I got home by gluing the charger into the charger port with gorilla glue. She took the charger out but let the glue that was inside the charger port harden. I know gorilla glue is an industrial glue, but is there any way to get it out or fix it?

Try the following..
#1 Unplug the computer from the AC source.
#2. Remove the battery from the laptop.
#3. Use a Cotton Swab coated with Fingernail Polish Remover to to thoroughly swab inside the jack. You will have to do this numerous times over several hours but the Acetone in the FPR will soften and to some extent dissolve the reside from the Glue--even Gorilla Glue.
#4. As the residue soften. Use something like a Micro size Flat blade screw driver( available at most Dollar stores) to gently scrape and pull out the glue residue.
This should work but will take patience and a certain amount of "elbow grease" to scrape it out.
Good Luck.
If you can't pull it out, then the only thing you can do is replace the charger port on the mainbord. That costs around $100 for someone to solder a new one on. I had it done because my port stopped working and thats what it cost me.
You could try using something small and sharp to get it out.
