Do not use the device with a leaking battery, it’s dangerous. Remove the battery immediately.
This shoulda like the battery has a tear in it throw it away and get a new one do not put back in the phone for safety reasons
That cause. From your new post you have put up you have put solder all over the connectors . You’ve more likly shorted the board out
omg so does my galaxy s6 the baterry smells like that too!! anyone know what is wrong????
It only smells this way when I pick my phone up and put it straight to my nose. What happened: i knew the battery was old and faulty and needed to be replaced so I took a comb and pryed the back off (which was hard bc of the glue) then the battery was smelln sweet like paint or nail polish remover yk. But it hasn’t swelled. So what should I do? I can’t take it down to a proper recyle place so throw it in the trash? It’s still in the phone and I don’t want to throw the whole phone away (with all my info on it)
What you smell there, is probably some kind of methanol/ (DMC). Dont breathe it too much (sniff the battery etc) because this can lead to methanol poisoning. Just carefully remove the battery/go to a phone shop and let them remove it.
Hello, You should take the battery out of the thing its in, (if its still in something) and then put the battery in water if its hot. If the battery is not hot then you should check for holes. If there is a hole, clean up the hole on the battery with water on a cotton rag, then you should put the battery in the recycling. It is not safe to reuse a broken battery as it could catch on fire or explode. The smell you are smelling is also toxic so I don’t recommend smelling it over and over.
