The case for stopping laptop use when its trackpad is popping out
Engadget says Surface laptops, MacBooks and many other laptops have batteries beneath their trackpads. A swelling battery may push the trackpad out of place.
TLDR
A shifting trackpad needs immediate attention, Engadget says, because the part beneath it can become a fire hazard. The outlet says batteries sit directly under the trackpads on Surface laptops, MacBooks and many other laptops, and swelling may dislodge the trackpad. Its advice if the trackpad is popping out: stop using the laptop immediately.
