Donation for parts

Workshops and technical schools have always lived on donated devices: a phone that no longer turns on holds a screen, cameras, tiny screws and boards that still work. Before thinking about repairing it, you need to understand the structure: a swollen battery is an internal pressure problem — the gas released by chemical degradation pushes the casing from the inside out.

  • The iPhone with the swollen battery
  • A sturdy, non-flammable box or container a metal tin, ceramic pot
  • Wide adhesive tape masking tape or packing tape

  • Clean eggshells from 6 to 10 eggs
  • Common white glue school type
  • Water
