The "hole" in the burnt out component is characteristic of applying
reverse polarity to an active device such as a diode. I would guess
that the diode exploded, blowing the top off the epoxy package.

The 8-pin IC next to it also looks burnt.

To the OP: forget it, this is not economically repairable. Buy your
daughter a new machine and use the correct charger in future.


A diode is not an active device
