Phone "Screen" is Lifting Off the Frame
4.5
The glass display is physically peeling away from the phone body, often showing a light leak.
Symptoms
- Gaps in frame
- Light leaking from sides
- Screen feels "spongy"
Possible Causes
- Swollen battery
- Adhesive failure
- Frame damage
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Stop Charging Immediately
If the screen is lifting, the battery inside is likely expanding (swelling).
2
Do Not Press Down
Trying to "push" the screen back can puncture the swollen battery, causing a fire.
3
Take to a Professional
The battery must be replaced safely and the screen re-glued.
When to See a Technician
A lifting screen is a major safety warning; a swollen battery is a "spicy pillow" and can be dangerous.
