In old days I used wax from candles to fill the broken ports )) But silicon should work as well. Important is - if the place where the broken port is located gets hot during work on this machine - put there something which does not melt. And silicon or wax do melt from heat as far as I know.<br />
Some rubber could suit also perfectly.

Silicon caulking compound, once cured for 24 hours won't melt in normal heat (that would melt wax).

Standard epoxy resin filler. &nbsp;Make sure it's a firm mix or you'll never get that system board out again (not that you're ever likely to want to:)).

Hardware

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
