I used to work in an electronics repair shop and had this happen to an iPad that came in. The battery burst into flames when I tried to remove it, it burned for a min or so after I put it outside in the rain. Replaced the battery and it worked perfectly. I am not a fan of Apple products at all, but god damn if they don’t use high quality components.
Truly shocked that this true story us being down voted. I can probably find pics I took when it happened.

My mother’s old samsung tablet developed a spicy pillow. I took it outside, had it play one of those 24 hour videos and turned up the brightness on the display and the next day I kept checking to see if it would try to boot and it kept that up for about 6 months until last week it finally stopped trying to boot up. It’s very dead now, so I took it apart and now it’s in a bag ready to go to an ewaste facility.

I found a laptop in a dumpster with a swollen battery and warped case. Pulled it out, bought a battery on Amazon, swapped it, wiped it, and sold it. Made $300.

If you can’t get sand, bury it in dirt I don’t know if you’d be able to transport it buried in a container of dirt but that’s another option to disable it until you can get it safely disposed of

How nice of the battery to open the case for you to replace it

Embed it in sand and take it outside, it could explode and burn

You might wanna get this thing out of your house.
Your iPad 2 still (until impending meltdown) worked? That’s kinda interesting on its own

You don’t need to check the percentage, looks full to me!
S-Soak it in some rice…?
OP try sticking that thing in some rice, always doesn’t work
