Apologies if this is a dumb question. I have a very old (late 2010 model) 11in MBA that sat on a shelf for nearly two years. When I finally glanced at it for once, I noticed the inside appears to have exploded (really). Nothing has come out, but the keyboard protrudes with a large lump that makes it impossible to fully shut. When the screen is down, the gap caused by the lump is about 8mm. It was never exposed to any crazy conditions, so I'm guessing the cause of death was natural.
I assume it was the battery and whatever happened destroyed the entire bottom part. My immediate thought was to dispose of it. But would a piece of junk like this put on eBay, with no guarantee of any parts being salvageable, sell for anything? Even $20? The screen was always perfectly functional and I have no reason to believe it broke too (but I really have no way of knowing...)
And more importantly, would the potential safety issue preclude the possibility of a sale? I'll greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks.
