I have a Lenovo Legion gaming laptop that I've been using primarily for music production without any issues. Recently, I noticed that the bottom left casing seems to be open and won't close because of a damaged edge. The other side appears fine, and I'm unsure how this happened. My main concern is whether it's still safe to use the laptop as it functions normally, or if this might be indicative of a deeper issue like battery swelling. I appreciate any insights!

It definitely suggests some sort of impact. If the edge is bent but everything else seems okay, it’s likely just cosmetic. However, that gap could potentially mean something's off internally, so I'd look closely to see if anything looks out of place.
Honestly, from what you've described, it does sound like there was some kind of impact that bent the casing. If the laptop works fine and you don't see any swelling or other odd behavior, you're probably okay using it. Still, keeping an eye on performance is key, just in case!
It seems like your laptop might have taken a hard hit. The damage suggests it could have been dropped or bumped pretty hard, which would cause the casing to pop open. Have you checked if anyone could have accidentally knocked it while you weren't around? You could shine a light in the gap to look for any swelling, but it’s likely external damage rather than battery issues.
First off, check if the battery is swelling—if it isn’t, you should be fine to continue using it. The damaged edge might just be from hitting something. If you’ve noticed that the battery life is significantly reduced, then that might indicate a swelling battery, but usually, you would see physical signs of it. Opening it up to inspect can't hurt. Better safe than sorry!
