Is my laptop battery swollen, or is it something else?

Is my battery okay? | thought I was feeling bumps when I felt the bottom case but this is how the battery looks. The second picture is around where I felt bumps, as well as where the battery ends and it goes towards the second picture, does that look normal as well? Thank you so much :slight_smile:

From what I can see, everything looks okay.

Thanks for the reassurance! I was getting worried. Just to clarify, a swollen battery would look distinctly bulged in each cell, not just indented around each, right?

check this one out

After reassembling my laptop, it won’t turn on. I’ve plugged it in, but there’s no indication it’s charging. Any ideas?

It appears normal. A swollen battery would be noticeably larger and misshapen compared to this.

Thank you! I’ve reassembled everything and made sure it’s all connected, but the laptop still won’t power on. What could be wrong?

@Hux
Did you disconnect or rearrange any components during disassembly?

Two connectors came loose accidentally, and I’m not sure what they are. I have photos if that helps.
