I'd throw the whole thing in e-waste personally 😂. No way am I gonna attempt any repair with a pillow battery 💀

I'll try take the battery out one more time when it hasn't been used or on charge for a while. Otherwise, I guess we'll have to chuck it. I have another older laptop that's a massive spec upgrade from this one I'm not using I was figuring out what to do with, it could always be donated to the kids
