Area Around Touchpad Slowly Cracking Open?
Hey, I've had my laptop for quite some time and had no desire to change it but I've noticed the area around the touchpad is slowly separating and cracking open. This process has deformed the touchpad area which is also starting to crack under the pressure. I have ZERO in funds right now and this is my only computer so being without it would be extremely challenging for multiple reasons. At this point I'm just trying to verify there is not a physical danger from whatever is going on. Anyone seen this or experienced this before? I have more pics, if necessary. Thanks in advance!

Open the laptop and check the battery. In all likelihood it is swelled and should be removed and replaced asap before it causes serious problems or permanent damage not to mention being a safety hazard. In a pinch with funds being low, remove the battery and run off the adapter like a desktop.

@JOcean You are correct! I'm struggling with getting it open, but will be doing just what you said and running off of the adapter. Thank you so much!!
