Stop charging immediately
A swollen lithium cell can rupture the display or frame. Power off if safe; do not squeeze the phone flat.
-
Back up if possible
If the phone still boots, copy photos and files now. Swelling often worsens quickly.
-
Do not DIY puncture
Never drill or crush a swollen pack. We can replace the battery with proper adhesive and seals.
-
Recycle responsibly
Many county hazardous-waste sites accept lithium cells. We can also recycle through the shop when you drop off for repair.
