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.
