Microsoft Surface Battery Swelling: The "Screen Bulge" Danger

## Surface Pro Screen Lifting? It's a Battery Time Bomb.

Microsoft Surface devices are fantastic, but they have a fatal flaw: the battery is glued tight behind the screen. When it ages, it produces gas (swells).

### The Symptoms
1. **Screen Separation**: The glass is lifting off the metal frame on the left side.
2. **Yellow Spots**: Pressure on the LCD creates yellow bruising.
3. **Touch Issues**: Ghost touches or unresponsive zones.

### Why It's Dangerous
A swollen lithium-ion battery is under immense pressure.
- **Fire Risk**: If the screen glass punctures the soft battery pouch, it ignites immediately.
- **Glass Risk**: The pressure will eventually crack your RM 800+ screen from the inside out.

### The Repair Challenge
Surface Pros are notoriously hard to open. The screen is essentially glued to the chassis. Removing a screen *over a swollen battery* is extremely difficult without cracking the screen.

**Why Techfix?**
We have specialized heat plates and clamping tools designed to open Surface Pros with a **95% success rate** of saving the screen.
*Note: Many shops refuse Surface repairs because they break the screen. We specialize in them.*

### Cost Benefit
- **New Surface Pro**: RM 5,000+
- **Battery Replacement**: ~RM 450 - RM 550

It is absolutely worth fixing. Once the fresh battery is in, the device often runs like new for another 3-4 years.

**Warning**: If your screen is bulging, back up your data NOW and bring it in. Do not squeeze it back down.
