Q. I plugged my iPhone charger in last night and charged my phone. Tonight as I went to bed I heard a sizzling noise. It was the adapter end ( end that adapts to phone) of my charger burning. Nothing else is in the outlet. What would cause this?
A. Sounds like the charger has been used and abused enough that the wiring or connections have shorted out. Your question is unclear as to where exactly the burning took place - if at the connection between the wire and the dock connector, the cable probably got pinched or bent badly at this point and the conductors inside it have gotten broken and are touching. If inside the connector body itself, it's possible something has been jammed in it and caused the tiny pins to touch one another.
Phone adapters are very resilient, so it probably was of no harm to you. You could probably even splice a new end onto it and the charger might be fine. But in the case of the iPhone, there's so many pins that it might be more trouble than it's worth.
To clear up a little confusion here: No, phone chargers do NOT have high voltage on them. Typically it's around ~5V, which is very small. However, in the case of smartphones, the current is very high (2 amps or possibly more).

how can I remove krazy glue from my iphone?
Q. i accidentally spilled krazy glue over my iphone charger inlet. Does anyone know how to get it off?
A. Acetone, commonly found in nail polish remover, is a widely available solvent capable of softening cured cyanoacrylate. Other solvents include Nitromethane, Dimethyl sulfoxide, and Methylene chloride, although the latter two of these solvents are toxic. Gamma-butyrolactone may also be used to remove cured cyanoacrylate. Commercial de-bonders are also available
Note: Do NOT use a Q-TIP or any other cotton-based applicator to clean - extreme exothermic reactions can take place - leading to possible burns and in some extreme cases fire.
