MacOS 2017 13.6.7 - Unable to load support option

I have attached an image of the issue with my MacBook. On one side, the back of it is separating. I am experiencing issues on Apple Support and cannot get into contact with them because of the error showing “Unable to load support option. We’re sorry, this product is not supported for service.” My serial number is also not being recognised?

I am wondering if there is any way around this?

The battery has FAILED


Turn if OFF right way


Disconnect from Charger, right away


Keep the computer OFF and disconnected from the Charger


The Separation of the Bottom Plate from the Upper Chassis is caused by the Battery Swelling and pushing out the Bottom Plant


No Not turn the computer On Again


Have the computer evaluated by the Professionals who have the Special Hardware Software and Expertise to diagnose the issue and offer possible solutions


Make an Appointment at the Apple Genius Bar or call 1 800 MyApple and have them evaluate the computer

You are welcome


Serial Number is not recognized by Apple ?


The Numbers and letters can sometime be difficult to know if O is Oh, or 0 is Zero


Likewise for the upper case I ( eye ) or 1 as in number one


If to still have the Original Apple Box for this computer, the serial number is on the bottom


The Serial Number on the Bottom Plate which may require a Camera to Magnify it
