Step-by-Step Fix
1
Check for Battery Swelling
Look at the side of the phone. If it looks "pregnant", the battery is dangerous. Stop using it.
2
Avoid Pressing Down
Don't try to "snap" it back in; you might crack the LCD or puncture the battery.
3
Professional Re-sealing
A technician needs to remove the old adhesive and apply a new waterproof gasket.
When to See a Technician
Screen lifting is almost always caused by a battery expanding and pushing the screen out from the inside.
