What happened to my LG Optimus Fuel?

[AC Question]

I dont know what happened

I have a LG Optimus Fuel L40S. I don't know what happened to it but now all the screen shows is a battery and a sign with a question mark.

Welcome to Android Central! Does that only show up when it's plugged in? It sounds like the battery might have failed. Is it user-removable? If so, try a new one.

I took the battery out and there was a sweet smelling liquid on it (that was my question)

Sounds like the battery failed. Discard it in a safe way (not in the trash or landfill), and get a new battery.
