Hello, I’ve noticed that my Corebook X is swelling, what this means? Can it explode? I have no idea how to proceed, I use this computer to work. ![IMG20230808122315](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/chuwi/original/2X/7/7281d24192b213228c151cb2e73801b37ffdbbb5.jpeg) ---

Hello Your Battery is swollen for sure. If this is still under warranty time, activate as soon as possible. Do not use the laptop for now. I would recommend to remove the battery and let it rest somewhere far from heat and from flamable stuff. Regards, ---

Hey, @coyotefert Thank you for responding. I purchased this computer on April 9th, 2022. I’m unsure about the warranty period, but in Spain, it is typically for a minimum of 2 years. I’m quite anxious about the situation. While I need to use this computer for work, I’m worried that it may unexpectedly explode near my face. Can you please help me understand what steps I should take next? I have a concern about Chuwi’s lack of communication with its customers and retailers, especially regarding a potential product recall. This is a matter that should be taken seriously. ---

I would say, take pictures, open the backplate and take pictures with battery model also. Send email for [service@chuwi.com](mailto:service@chuwi.com) with the situation. I had similar issue but my battery is not that swollen. They had no replacements at the moment I contacted. It seems that several Corebook X are facing this issue. It seems to be a common known issue. I will try with other moderators from forum to question Chuwi about it since they are not isolated cases but a recurrent issue. It´s diffcult but maybe Chuwi can propose a solution that is good for all. Regards, ---

Was your battery ever replaced? I am facing the same problem, and based on other posts it seems they are always claiming to not have replacement batteries in stock. ---
