I would certainly do a factory reset before fiddling with the hardware side.

It’s important to be systematic when problem solving issues like this or you will confused over what has or hasn’t helped.

I would factory reset it and if that doesn’t work, strongly consider using the warrenty rather than attempting a manual repair. If you’re familiar with fixing electronics then have a go but the worse scenario is you accidentally break sornething else and invalidate the warrenty.

Totally forgot that messing with internals can invalidate warranty on most electronics. Thanks for reminding me. Definitely gonna do a reset, then, to ensure it’s not just that, before going the hardware route.

In case of the Steam Deck fiddling around on the inside does explicitly not invalidate the warranty. It is specifically made to be easy to repair.

Unless you do something stupid, of course.

But as long as you follow instructions from ifixit you should be golden.
