Comment on Here's how I fixed my Steam Deck when it stopped turning on.

Huh, is that a new shortcut, or did they get confused about the UEFI reset shortcut:

Hold down Volume Down+Power+⋯ (“Three Dots” button under the right touchpad) to reset the UEFI settings to their defaults (keep the two buttons other than Power held after the first blink of the LED: the LED will blink during the operation and stop once done, then release the buttons).

I’ve never heard of volume up+… as a functional shortcut before.

In the video he has no idea what combination of buttons actually worked. I feel dumber for watching the video.

  He got it in the end though. I quoted the portion thay worked.

  He said it was the quick access button (QAM), which is the “. . .” button, not the select button. You can also see him pressing it in the video with his right thumb.

    Oh, I see it now. My bad. I missed him specifically showing that early in the video and later it looked like his left thumb was being used instead, but it’s not.

    I even remember looking at my own Steam Deck to see the icon on the “select” button, and it didn’t ring a bell being called the quick access button. (Because it’s not.)
    
    In addition, I mixed up my looking at the button with him zooming in on that button in the video. I would have sworn he did that, and I was about to go take a screenshot of it, but he didn’t. Stupid brain.

    It apparently used to say it on Valve’s official FAQ for the steam deck, but it’s since been rewritten to only mention the bios method. I found a 4 year old reddit post where they directly quoted the older version of the page.
    
    I also confirmed on my Steam Deck that it works, I was able to get the double blue led flash (which confirms you’ve entered battery storage mode on the OLED) by plugging the deck in, turning it off, holding vol+ and QAM for 10 seconds, and then unplugging the Deck (while still holding the buttons)
