Any Make , Model Laptop adapter charger open it without damage plastic body cover.. (gasoline) www.arieslaptoptraining.com, www.arieslaptop.in, arieslaptop@yahoo.com
Great trick. I had no bottle of petrol handy, so tried this trick with White Spirit. It works just the same, just rub it really well into the join all the way round using a paper towel, give it a minute to allow it to seep in, then prise open with a gentle slight twist of a knife along the recessed join so no cosmetic damage caused. Thanks !!!!!!!
It worked like a charm! I putted half an inch of gasoline in a glass, putted in a straw, closed other end of with my finger. opened it above adapter. Repeated it on other side of adapter. Not 1 minute later i could open it just by hand! Neat trick! Thanks a lot!
It doesn't work like a charm, but it does work. I was able to open the adapter fairly easy. And I was worried how to open it without having to bang it with a hammer (that usually busts the adapter). I don't understand the dislikes for this video though. If you are not contributing, then go take your dislikes somewhere else, not to the person who took the time and effort to show his method to help fellow humans. Thanks to the uploader.
Thank you! This worked neatly. I used the petrol with a syringe to line the join and about 1.5ml of petrol (gasoline) is all that was required on my lenovo power adapter.
Man, you made my day!!! Probably very suited for most chinese adapters this metod; my adapter was only glued, and this method opens it without any problem, extremely easy!!
Wow, it worked better than expected. I applied full force and almost threw it against the ceiling as it came loose. I used a regular solvent for oil- and phthalic-based paints.
Thanks for this. I used "All purpose Thinners" and it worked perfectly. Only had to wait a few seconds too. Previously I used cutters and chisels and made a mess of things.
Harshad, you are great man. I did it and enjoyed your functionality. Far better than hammering and priding the body cover which can be easily put again together.
awesome!!!!!! few minute after applying little amount of gasoline, you seem break a piece of kitkat chocolate!! great trick!! watching from philippines!!
You could try to use acetone to melt superglue if you have one at home. Also, dry the charger thoroughly after using gasoline on it before you decide to energize and test the charger. It's flammable and not to mention conductive
For those who think that you can buy only petrol with residue: there is petrol with no residue at all. Use that one if you so worried. Also why would you use half liter of petrol? You only need about 1 to 5 ml of it. apply it with syringe and you are done. Just think before you do thats all you need.The buy on the video clearly used tooooooo much of it.
Petrol (short for petroleum) is the British word for gasoline. Any chemical that is made from gasoline such as kerosene or petroleum distillates will work. alcohol should work as well. Basically you are melting the plastic at the seam. I would recommend using nitrile gloves since gasoline has benzene in it which can cause cancer. Nice technique.
Alcohol does nothing to open these types of boxes. They are not glued, they are ultra-sonically welded. Alcohol does not affect most plastics. And most wall plugs are made from ABS. Acetone will loosen the weld. But it also ruins the box. There is something fishy about this video. I am going to test this on some of my sealed boxes. But I don't think this really works.
Thanks a lot for this video. Ants had infested my laptop adapter and it stopped working. I had no clue how to open the adapter, but after watching your video, I used petrol and was able to open it up pretty easily. I put drops of petrol using cotton and waited for 5 min, then used a thin screwdriver to gently push the halves apart. I then cleaned out all the ants from the adapter and it started working just fine :)
Caution: the petrol can leak into the charger. I advise using 91% alcohol as it will leak minimal amount of solvent into the chargers components. I only had alcohol and used this method to loosen up the glue, then pried it open with a knife and hammer. I didn't have to use nearly as much force as I have in the past using knife and hammer only.
Just finished and it worked well using gasoline. I use only a little gasoline in a cup because it is so volatile and dangerous. I saw someone used mineral spirits (like paint thinner) and this would be much safer. After a minute or two of repeated soakings I used a cutter blade to run down the seams, which helped it split. It came apart cleanly.
Note: One can use Mostenboker's Liftoff Tape Remover (MLTR) as a substitute chemical for the gasoline, in order to open the Laptop Adapter. MLTR is apparently made from petroleum distillates, and it's the same kind of stuff found in lighter fluid. So, one can use lighter fluid too!
oh wow, it actually worked. now i dont have to find a new adapter for my security system. my son broke a prong off, now i can just soldier it back together. nice video.
i would not wish to use gasoline in the house, but i see that others have used other solvents with equally efficacious results. thank you for sharing though!
That looks a good idea. Thanks for sharing. It does rather surprise me how stupid some people are with their comments though. The bottle with the liquid in clearly states PETROL on it. Are Americans just thick? Why not Google PETROL and you would find out it is GASOLINE. As for how to glue it back? Really?? If you cant work out how to fix it back, you really should not open it in the first place.
Do I set it on fire when I put the Petrol on? No? Then set your HOUSE on fire because you getting mad at people who don't know what petrol is because a lot of Americans have never heard the word "petrol"
Bro where the fuck are the comments asking what petrol is? Why does the UK always have to bring up some shit that isn't there to start an argument? Are british just thick? No wonder the IRA wants you fucks out of ireland, you spend so much time talking about shit that isn't there that you aren't able to see the shit that is there, that's how shit like the sinking of the titanic happens.
I always thought Petrol in very small quantity will evaporate before it starts to soak into the glue but I may be wrong and this hack might work really good
Good to know that petrol (gasoline here) will undo the adhesive. That could be useful for more than just laptop chargers. Note to others: you should be very careful with petrol/gasoline, as it can explode. Don't do this right beside a window in direct sunlight- it might not cause an issue, but if it explodes, you've got a multitude of issues, and the adapter is probably irrecoverable. Don't burn down your house.
I've a different technique. I squeeze the edges of the plastic case in a bench vice and the glue gives up before the case. Sometimes you need to give each side a little squeeze, but the glue always quits!
Nail polish remover works too! No need to search for gasoline/Zippo lighter liquids! Just ask your wife/girlfriend for the nail polish remover and do the same trick! Mine worked perfectly! )))
I could open it that way, but it dissolved parts of the cover, not only a possible glue there. The cover parts can only be glued together thereafter. Probably depends on the kind of material the box is made of.
"It is most likely a petroleum based glue, all you would need is to saturate a towel with gasoline and let it sit [...] for a couple hours... put plastic wrap or a garbage bag against it so it doesn't evaporate away as quickly and reduces fumes in the vicinity, and of course don't do it in an area where there could be flames or sparks. Of course use of WD-40 or other petroleum solvents are safer than gasoline, but people have been using gas [...] since the beginning, it is merely a matter of being mindful of what you are doing." From instructables
Thank you... i'm not sure if my battery pack is secured in a different way or not, though... so I'll try soaking it, especially with the plastic wrap, that should help it along a good bit.
Always unplug first and wait for capacitors to discharge (might take extremely long, mostly minutes, rarely hours, only in extreme cases days). Fuel is extremely explosive, you dont want it to catch fire, while the bottle is still close by. Also I wonder what would happen to the coilcoating and stuff. If that really works like that on glue, how wouldnt the copper coating of coils or other parts be unaffected?
Tried with 95% ethyl alcohol, and with a little encouragement from a thin guitar pick and a small screwdriver, it worked like a charm. Thank you!
I have tried it with a very small amount of zippo black lighter fluid, it works like a charm! Thank You!
zippo black lighter fluid is costlier then Petrol.
Works perfectly. I've used a syringe to put a little bit of gasoline instead of dripping everything around with it ;)
Great trick. I had no bottle of petrol handy, so tried this trick with White Spirit. It works just the same, just rub it really well into the join all the way round using a paper towel, give it a minute to allow it to seep in, then prise open with a gentle slight twist of a knife along the recessed join so no cosmetic damage caused. Thanks !!!!!!!
Spent nearly 20 mins trying to crack open a hp charger.. then I used a syringe and just 2ml petrol and it opens almost too easily.. Thanks so much
It worked like a charm! I putted half an inch of gasoline in a glass, putted in a straw, closed other end of with my finger. opened it above adapter. Repeated it on other side of adapter. Not 1 minute later i could open it just by hand! Neat trick! Thanks a lot!
Man using a thin straw is a very good idea. Thanx.
It doesn't work like a charm, but it does work. I was able to open the adapter fairly easy. And I was worried how to open it without having to bang it with a hammer (that usually busts the adapter).
I don't understand the dislikes for this video though. If you are not contributing, then go take your dislikes somewhere else, not to the person who took the time and effort to show his method to help fellow humans.
Thanks to the uploader.
Thanks
Amen
+Harshad Patel Even tho im 11 you helped me sooooo much you saved me from buying a gaming laptop charger that costed 150 bucks
+Harshad Patel Dude warn everybody because the gasoline can in the battery like 91% can go in and might shock you
they are from the people that didn't have petrol
Very informative and excellent tip. I was using screw driver and chisel to breakdown the glue and access the inside. Thumbs up.
LearningZone
My experience is that petrol damages plastic. The plastic will break into small pieces.
I saw that same method in another video, carefully hammering on a small screwdriver. Dissolving the glue with petrol seems the best option.
Thank you! This worked neatly. I used the petrol with a syringe to line the join and about 1.5ml of petrol (gasoline) is all that was required on my lenovo power adapter.
Thanks a lot, it really helped 😊😊
Man, you made my day!!! Probably very suited for most chinese adapters this metod; my adapter was only glued, and this method opens it without any problem, extremely easy!!
I really expected him to smash it with a sledge hammer.
Instructions unclear - house on fire. Please advise...
Wow, it worked better than expected. I applied full force and almost threw it against the ceiling as it came loose. I used a regular solvent for oil- and phthalic-based paints.
I was for a bit expecting you to come back with a match. 💥😁
I always thought these bricks was ultrasound welded! Now I know at least some of them are glued! Thanks!
Thanks for this. I used "All purpose Thinners" and it worked perfectly. Only had to wait a few seconds too. Previously I used cutters and chisels and made a mess of things.
Excellent video. I use to petrol to remove sticky stains on car never occurred to me that it can used like this. Thanks for this video sir
Thank you! With your trick, I was able to open up and repair my adapter without breaking it into tiny bits with a hammer.
Thanks dear friend 😊😇
Harshad, you are great man. I did it and enjoyed your functionality. Far better than hammering and priding the body cover which can be easily put again together.
I just used this method and it works like a charm. There's an annoying smell after the process though. Keep a window open.
Finally I opened in a minute with your PETROL trick!!! Thanks a lot
awesome!!!!!! few minute after applying little amount of gasoline, you seem break a piece of kitkat chocolate!! great trick!! watching from philippines!!
You could try to use acetone to melt superglue if you have one at home.
Also, dry the charger thoroughly after using gasoline on it before you decide to energize and test the charger. It's flammable and not to mention conductive
Somebody better tell that to my fuel pump
Excellent idea! I was just about to buzz saw mine open with a Dremel. This is a far better and non-destructive way to do it.

i'm 100% sure gasoline evaporates.

It leaves more residue, which can lead to corrosion.
not if you use residue free petrol. they do exist do you know ?
It is not glued, it is melted togeter
wow after a long time i find something very helpfull thanks bro

You are the best!! Thanks a lot!
PS: It also works with Nail polish remover :P
Didn't work
I think the one I used was acetone free. Maybe it had something different than yours..

I like to lay a knife point in the crack and let the "petrol" run down the knife with an eye dropper. You don't trip as long and the fire is smaller.
Excellent! It works. Thanks for your tip we call petrol in My country Benzine
Thank you man.. this video helped me to change the DC code of a newly bought charger as my original charger pin was not available... thanks alot
WOW thanks! I used brake cleaning spray and by the time I went all around, it fell apart! Thanks Harshad!
Thank you buddy, It works wonderfully, once again big thanks and big hug from Indonesia! This trick also work for PSVR adaptor.
That is a neat trick, thought they were heat sealed.
Brilliant tip. Works really well using a syringe. Thank you very much.
Wow... I've been trying to open it for years without any success... Thanks for the tip
when I saw a bottle with petrol I thought it was gonna be a fake video but it actually worked holy crap
what is the petrol (gasoline or diesel or ... )
I applied a little more petrol.. It worked.. Its amazing.. Thanks a lot 😊
oh wow, it actually worked. now i dont have to find a new adapter for my security system. my son broke a prong off, now i can just soldier it back together. nice video.
i would not wish to use gasoline in the house, but i see that others have used other solvents with equally efficacious results.

+Tony weavers you can glue it back with Cyanoacrylate
Thanks for your comment
Do I set it on fire when I put the Petrol on? No? Then set your HOUSE on fire because you getting mad at people who don't know what petrol is because a lot of Americans have never heard the word "petrol"
You are so right Tony. half knowledge idiots who speak english and blame rest of the world for being backward.
Bro where the fuck are the comments asking what petrol is? Why does the UK always have to bring up some shit that isn't there to start an argument? Are british just thick? No wonder the IRA wants you fucks out of ireland, you spend so much time talking about shit that isn't there that you aren't able to see the shit that is there, that's how shit like the sinking of the titanic happens.
Yes I use hamer to open it than its open easily.
Thank u so much.
And sorry for last comment...
Ok, wow, so I can't believe this actually worked. Thanks man.
It took some prying but worked, thank you!
It did work for me! No brute force to open the charger! Thank you!
I always thought Petrol in very small quantity will evaporate before it starts to soak into the glue but I may be wrong and this hack might work really good
You are a legend bhaia.
It takes only 5 minutes and done! Thanks mate!
Works like magic in seconds...thanks was going for the hammer 😂😂
Excellent idea. I been using thors hammer all this while.
Very informative. Great demonstration. Thanks for sharing with the community.
Pour ouvrir AC Adaptor toshiba pa3290e 3ac3. Avec essence F ça fonctionne aussi, c'est top cette astuce. Merci !
gas and things that can commonly spark sounds like a fun time :)
Thanks! I used sticker remover and opened my adapter in less then 2 minutes :), awesome!
Denatured Alcohol (Fuel) will work similarly
haha i never think this idea.. instead i open it with hammer
I most did like u buddy

That’s much easier. I used a hummer and putty knife last week to open mine.
Hi teacher great gob what thing you used for open the that ?
Very nice 👌👌
Thanks @Harshad Patel
which glue to use to reseal the adapter ?
I've tried with a technical gasoline and wokrs perfectly. Thanks! ;)
Working perfect! I try with dell and i m happy
Nail polish remover works too! No need to search for gasoline/Zippo lighter liquids! Just ask your wife/girlfriend for the nail polish remover and do the same trick! Mine worked perfectly! )))
That looks a good idea. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice idea! Thanks so much.
I could open it that way, but it dissolved parts of the cover, not only a possible glue there. The cover parts can only be glued together thereafter. Probably depends on the kind of material the box is made of.

Works with lighter fluid. Thank you!
that will evaporate in the air so no
Supper Brother It Works... Thanks, Thank You so Much... Great Idea, you genius Bro
I have test it! It's ok! Thanks for your help!
Nice.
thank you..😁😁😁 it really works...👌👌👍👍
Wao brilliant thanks a lot for sharing this video
thanks now I need to buy a new adapter
Really solves my problem - thanks!
thank you very much very good idea, it ia very simply and clean
Thanks brother
Thanks for this but what glue to use to stick it back together?
Superglue or commonly called Cyanoacrylate
Thanks a lot for the very interesting video. I wonder if any other solvent could work. Maybe also alcohol ? or stain remover ?Thanks a lot again.
All of this will work
Hi ! thanks a lot for the very interesting video and advice.
for a moment we feels like being manipulate but its works
thank
Laptop Parts is really important in our life.
Thanks Very Helpful
Thank you for this brilliant trick!
Thanks! Worked perfectly.
An unbelievable miracle! White spirit aplied by syringe worked also.
superb bro.... Great... Nice Idea
thanks very valuable, now I can disassemble my adapter.
This is the most expensive method in Turkey:S
thanks alot harshad Patel it really worked for me
It works!! Thank you so much!
Great idea, but would you please spoil us how do you remove the smell later?
Excellent Experience good job
Cellulosic Thinner, also works
