Hello! My mom gave me her old phone to fix because she wanted photos on it this phone was a (Galaxy A70). I opened it up and I saw the battery disconnected so I plugged it in and smoke was everywhere! It smelled like an outlet smoking. O told my mom and I was still scared. She ordered a new battery off Amazon hoping it would fix everything but the same this happened.My mom said "does it work when it smokes?" I said yes because it did. I want to bring it in for repair but I don’t want to lose data please reply before June 20.

⚠️DO NOT try to power on the phone! ⚠️

If there's any chance of recovering your photos, trying to power up the device may well destroy the possibility of saving them! 

Take it to a Samsung Service Centre to get it checked out by a tech!
