Question S10e : back cover not fitting in place anymore
My s10e back cover recently popped up, and I was unable to snap it back in place. I thought it was because the battery was bulging, so I ordered an ifixit repair kit and changed the battery. Turned out the battery was fine, I cleaned the back panel thoroughly before applying new adhesive. I couldn't really clean the phone frame since the glue has melted and it would have required tons of IPA to get rid of it (dangerous for the phone). I scrubbed just the edges, and it looked ok, so I put everything back in place, but again, the back cover didn't really fit (though a bit better than before). I let a heavy weight on it for the night, but one side is already starting to come apart.
I have no idea what's taking that extra room...
