will the thread locker that is already on screws have any effect after taking the screws out

Albert F · October 22

Long story short I put thread locker on the wrong screws on my laptop and couldn't get them out and went to a guy that did. While I am waiting for a new case I put the screws back and they had some thread locker left on them.

Will the thread locker still have effect when taking the screws out again?

no, thread locker solution is a one time thing .... it resists torsion, prevents you from opening the screw ... when you open it you break the hardened substance.
