The trackpad on my laptop is slowly working its way free from the rest of the computer. The problem is the battery underneath. Dell has a problem with lithium batteries going bad and swelling up. When they swell, they push the trackpad out of the chassis. I guess it works as a safety relief valve and notifies the user that there’s a problem.

A new battery is on the way. In the meantime, I’m just hoping it doesn’t explode.

It’s like a Turkey Timer. It lets you know your computer is done.

Edit: Also, if you press down on the trackpad REALLY hard, Dell will buy you a new house.

It’s a work system. They’ve already dealt with several that did the same thing. I’m sure it’s being covered under warranty since it’s less than two years old.
