“condi 9/10” is lighting, not a safety check
Read the listing between lines
Confirm cannot… listing says “small crack only”. Ring light shining like battery at film premiere. Fourteen fire emoji, “condi 9/10”. Marketplace translator says “small” means visible damage, “only” means seller hopes u stop reading, and “9/10” means camera found its good side. Don’t ride it to see if it holds or charge it for one last check. If u already bought it, stop using and charging it, then ask the maker or authorised service provider what to do. Tape is not a repair.
Tape hides the crack
Simi… cannot anyhow tape over it, press it, open it or poke inside. Don’t touch or sniff it to check. Stop using and charging the pack, then ask the maker or authorised service provider. Ring light photos can improve the listing; they can’t change the pack.
What now
Stop

Leave it alone
Don’t tape, press, open, poke, touch or sniff it to check.
Ask first
