Swollen battery

On my Blade 14, the trackpad stopped functioning properly.  Right clicking (holding down the trackpad) requires excessive force, like A LOT.  Thought it was the trackpad, until I discovered the whole battery thing.  Sure enough, puffy battery.

If there’s a spicy pillow, I’d remove the lid and remove the battery before it’ll make more damage to the laptop.

To identify them early, keep an eye on the fit of the battery and monitor any performance changes. If you see any signs, it’s best to stop using the device and get it checked out!
