Worth checking old mobiles you've got stored somewhere
Discussion
Although I replaced it a couple of years ago, I still used my old mobile for streaming music at work.
Noticed a few weeks ago that it was getting difficult to press the power button to lock it - it has a rubber cover on the back, and seemed like it was no longer in line with the button.
Decided to remove the cover today - not needed on a phone that stays in my bag - and found it's due to the battery swelling enough that it's pushing the back cover of the phone off!
Obviously time for the bin - but thought it was worth mentioning. I'm sure most of us have old mobiles in a draw somewhere - if so, you should probably check them occasionally.
