You will learn how to replace the back cover of an LG Chocolate
The back cover of the LG chocolate helps the battery stay in place, and without the back cover the battery can potentially fall out which can create a whole separate problem.
If your device haves a swollen battery or its showing symptoms of a swollen battery make sure you don’t put it on the charger.
