Well, im 99.95% sure it doesnt.
Cyanoacrylates wouldnt conduct electricity because they dont contain any conductive materials. Same goes for resins. (Such as epoxy or the 2 part glues). But im no chemist. If you are thinking of using them to insulate, i wouldnt recommend it. It would go on waaay too thin, so the electricity could jump across any gaps / holes.

Motherboard back together?
I'm also pretty sure it doesn't. Never worked when i tried to glue my headphones together after snapping them when i was a kid

lol, guess it was only me thinking it may have been some form of mains powered sex toy
I have been given a 'broken' laptop
I opened her up and found that the socket for the power adaptor has snapped inside (god knows how), and the only reason it wont work is because it can't recharge.
If I solder a small bit of metal back together and superglue the plastic housing around it, it should be back in full working order.
While I intend to be careful with the glue, if it conducts electricity it would most probably not end well (fry motherboard, electrocute self, who knows).
The collective knowledge of this forum hasn't failed me yet, someone will know the answer.

Excessive force on the recharge socket will do this. My laptop has been back for repair a few times when someone has accidently walked off with the laptop while it is still plugged in. Usually results in several weeks of finding ingenious ways of wiggling and holding the mains lead before it finally gives up the ghost!

If there is one thing I have learned over my life about superglue its; it cant be trusted to do anything but stick your fingers together.
AFAIK thats its only purpose. It has failed every other challenge set.

You better use a super glue that is stable above 100 degrees C to be on the safe side. As you dont want it becoming soft again whilst its in use. As may leak on to other components. Assuming it does not dissolve partially any metals or other conducting materials it should not conduct. Some do though, depends on the brand and its mixture! So READ THE LABEL!
