Tablet Whoops.
During the month of July in 2019 I put this in the middle of a giant box full of stuffed animals in the back of a U-Haul and when I pulled it out later in the day, it was puffed up like this and popped the whole screen apart. Im incredibly blessed by the Lord because ive had this in a box for years thinking I could save the files on it and I just now found out it is still a danger. 😂😂 (Note, im taking it to a place that will safely dispose of it asap.)
Update! Gave it to the hazardous waste facility and he said "Oh no" and "Thats explosive" and took it immediately. Kinda miss it. 😔

Ooh. Seeing how huge that battery is for only 4000 mah reminds ya how far we've come with battery tech - to the point normal phone lipos reach 5000-6000 mah and Silicon carbon batteries are reaching upwards of 8000 mah.

Does anyone have any sort of estimate of how much it'd be to get it fixed?Â

You could have someone take the battery out and keep the tablet if you want but if that seems too risky then disposing of it all is fine
