Was using my laptop yesterday morning, went to work, came home this morning and the laptop is warped and the battery so swollen that if I put the laptop on a flat surface it moves on its on, the keyboard is all warped and unusable etc. The laptop is basically twice the size it was..

Not even sure how to dispose of the laptop. Been watching videos on YouTube where they just set on fire and I really don't want it in my flat just in case.

Tried to take the bottom off the laptop to take battery out but it won't come apart.

What do I do with it? (its a really cheap laptop, not worth getting repaired as it was shit before the battery issue!)

See if your local council have a electronics disposal scheme

See if you have a WEEE disposal near you
