My SE, 1st gen has partially lifted screen do to bulging battery. I had the phone inside an Otter case, which is an extremely stout case. When an AT&T tech opened the case to install a new SIM the screen partially opened exposing the swollen battery. The Otter case itself was keeping the evidence of the swollen battery concealed. The battery takes and holds a charge but to troubleshoot bizarre SMS behavior is what caused me to visit the AT&T store. The screen is now lifted 1/4" on left side and intact on right side. My question after viewing the disassembly videos, should I modify the screen release and lifting procedures in any manner? The SE is a great phone but Apple no longer offers battery service for it, although it still supports 2nd gen SE's.
