My iPad 4 A1460 screen lifted, probably from the heat. I was no longer using it and didn’t notice. Can I fix it? Is it dangerous as I read it may be the battery?
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Hi Susan,
The screens on iPads are glued down pretty well and the adhesive doesn't usually fail so chances are something on the inside is pushing on the screen forcing it up away from the chassis. The only thing inside the iPad that can possibly do that is the battery.
Lithium ion batteries as they age can generate gasses that will expand the covering that surrounds them like blowing up a balloon. When that happens the battery is in dire need of replacement. Whatever you do, don't puncture the covering to let the gas out!
There's a Wiki here on iFixit explaining all about swollen batteries that you should take a look at.
