Venue 8 pro swelling battery

Dear Dell community representative,

The screen has separated from the body of my tablet, and I can see that the battery appears to have swollen and caused this.

What is my best course of action?

Thanks,

David

Hi dtauriello,

Thanks for posting.

Unfortunately, this is the first Venue 8 pro I've seen with this issue.  Please contact Tech Support for assistance.  You can contact Tech Support at 1-800-624-9896 or 1-800-288-4410, or you can initiate a chat session http://dell.to/2v4snVm

Thanks, Robert - Google says it's quite common, with more than a few links on the Dell Community website: www.google.com/search - seems like it's quite dangerous, too.

Unfortunately, when I called Dell (chat doesn't work), I was told $269 to fix the tablet, or take it to a repair shop locally (not sure who).  Maybe I'll try to replace the battery myself.
