- Comment on [help] Black Screen of Death 1 week ago:
Definitely planned on contacting support later when I have enough time to sit down with my deck and try a few things first. And if nothing works or if warranty doesn’t cover whatever is going on, I planned on just using that specific deck as a micro desktop and wait to see if I could get a refurbished replacement as an absolute worst case scenario when financial aid for next college quarter comes in, if the price of getting it fixed isn’t cheaper.

Tried plugging it in directly to the charger that came with it for a while and still didn’t work. That was one thing I tried after looking up videos that didn’t help at all. Might try again considering I don’t know how long I left it plugged in.

Turns off immediately when unplugged and also turns on immediately on when plugged in.
-
On gaming mode, full. On desktop mode, 96% not charging.
-
100% battery health.

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.
- Comment on [help] Black Screen of Death 1 week ago:
While looking up warranty info, I stumbled upon the ifixit stuff and planned on following their guide, so I’m at least good there.
- Comment on [help] Black Screen of Death 1 week ago:
I didn’t try because there were a couple ribbony clip things on top of it and I didn’t feel comfortable removing them, but I’ll try that next chance I get.

If you’re talking about battery recalibratiom, which is the first thing I found, I don’t think I can. Any post I see on it says to drain the battery as the first step, but I don’t have a clue whether it’s using any battery power while unplugged right now. So I’d have to hope the battery is draining and hope when I plug it in that it wouldn’t be saying it’s at full charge.

- Comment on [Discussion] Do you use any headphones with your Steam Deck? 1 week ago:
I don’t usually play games with friends, so I just use whatever pair I currently have available. Right now it’s just a cheap enough pair of wired over the ear skull candy headphones. Don’t know how good they’d be for things like audio calls that go on for extended periods of time, but they’ve been pretty good to me so far.
- Comment on Well that was fast, refurbished OLED Decks are now available on Steam 2 weeks ago:
The fact that for less than $100 you could get a refurbished OLED model with the same amount of storage (512GB) is insane. If the OLED model was out and had verified refurbished models on sale back when I bought my deck, I would have absolutely done it. Not upgrading any time soon if I can help it since I love my deck, but damn it would’ve been cool to have the OLED model.
- Comment on Valve May Start Selling Refurbished Steam Deck OLEDs Soon 2 weeks ago:
Real good thing I decided to get a refurbished LCD than going for an OLED model because I’m part of that small percentage of audio jack users.

And in a move not seen since Father Stone last visited Craggy Island, America said with a straight face and tone: “Okay.”

- Comment on Rebootless updates come to Windows 11 Enterprise and 365 for security updates — Microsoft releases hotpatching for Windows 11 Enterprise 24H2 and Windows 365 Preview Editions 5 weeks ago:
Rebootless updates coming to windows? They’re already decades behind Linux, so good for them, I guess, for implementing something solved a long time ago by a competitor far, far away.
Doesn’t effect me since I wouldn’t dream of using their win11 spyware OS for longer than absolutely necessary, but for those using Enterprise because your work absolutely hates everything, good for them.
- Comment on Do you use your Deck for non-gaming purposes? If so, what do you use it for? 5 weeks ago:
Closest I’ve come is accessing the browser on desktop mode to transfer files (pretty much just games or files for games) and soon I hope to add custom boot videos. Otherwise, it’s just a game player/emulator player for me.
Random question, but does anyone know a way to make it so only custom boot videos play when you select random or have we not gotten that far yet?
- Comment on Netflix used to not have ads, now it’s ‘celebrating’ two years with them 1 month ago:
I currently don’t have a spare device or whatever is needed to set up a server, but definitely agree with your point. Best I can do right now is having my shows/movies stored on a 1TB drive that’s almost full and a 2TB drive I have yet to touch, which just works for me.
- Comment on Netflix used to not have ads, now it’s ‘celebrating’ two years with them 1 month ago:
I feel old for remembering a time when they advertised their service on wii some time after they stopped doing trade in DVDs, which my family was a part of. Back when I’d have the wii set up in my bedroom just to watch my favorite cartoons or the (to me) once new and mysterious Doctor Who (before eventually dropping due to lack of interest). Back when they were pretty much the only streaming service and had just about everything. Back before everything became siloed away into 500 different services that all add up to the price of healthy organs on the black market.
Now you’d be lucky to see me on their platform regardless of whether or not my family has the ad free plan or not (no idea if we do, nor do I care). Let alone any of the other services.
- Comment on Luanti (formerly Minetest) v5.10.0 out now bringing UI updates, fancier shaders, renaming work 1 month ago:
I also tried at one point, but gave up because I couldn’t get the set up I had made for it to work. This was maybe less than a month ago. I hope for gamepad support in the future so that I can finally have voxelibre (formerly mineclone2) on deck without fiddling with the controller settings at all.
- Comment on Microsoft stealthily installs Windows 10 update to nag you to upgrade to Windows 11 – and not for the first time 1 month ago:
That, or if you’re like me, I’m just gonna keep my desktop running win10 and just never let it connect to the Internet by disabling or removing the wifi card so it can’t auto install 11. Gonna probably be upgrading soon anyways, so no need to worry.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - November 2024 1 month ago:
Haven’t been playing much on it since I haven’t felt like playing because college, but the last few times I have, I was busy dragging myself to play Fallout New Vegas to some day finally complete a run for the first time in any fallout game. Otherwise, I don’t think I’ve played any other games.

Unrelated, but I just figured out what FTFY means thanks to your comment.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - October 2024 2 months ago:
Shotgun King is definitely a fun game. The worst part about it is how I’ve played enough to where I’m stuck on one of the higher difficulties and and bored of it.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - October 2024 2 months ago:
Haven’t been playing it much recently, but I’ve gotten to a point in Pokemon Unbreakable Ties where I’m stubbornly bashing my head against a wall to win a battle, so that’s off the table for a while.
And the only other games I’ve actually played recently are Yooka-Laylee (only 2 levels in due to exploration and a lot of goofing around), Baba Is You, and Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers. But I’ve only been playing a little bit since I’ve been busy enough.
- Comment on Steam players no longer require a Microsoft Account to play multiplayer 2 months ago:
Sometimes I wish Steam would just change their policies to force all games on Steam to make it so any content that requires a 3rd party account would still work if you decide to just use your Steam account. Last time I checked, the MMORPG Dofus didn’t require you to use an Ankama account on the Steam version (unless that’s changed), so why can’t others take that as the cream of the crop example of what to do?
- Comment on LCD Steam Decks on sale. 64GB LCD (15% off - $296.65) and LCD 512GB LCD (25% off - $336.75) 3 months ago:
Either that, or they got enough refurbished ones to sell. Either way, a great device either LCD or OLED.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games have you been playing on your deck? - September 2024 3 months ago:
Mostly only 2 games.
Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers
And the recently released 4th beta for the pokemon fan game Unbreakable Ties (the English release because I’m dumb and don’t know Spanish)
- Comment on What have you been playing lately? 5 months ago:
New Vegas. At some point I took my save from my PC and copied it over since zi didn’t feel like playing as my level 6 new character on hard difficulty survival mode. I’d rather play my melee build character who now has an insanely fast war club that can take out individual death claws without backup with only a 50% chance of death, assuming vats allows me to knock one down.
That, and games like GemCraft: Frostborn Wrath, Isles of Sea and Sky, and trying to get back into Brok the Investigator so I can try and get all endings completed before the eventual DLC release.
- Comment on What have you been playing lately? 5 months ago:
The remake/remaster(?) isn’t any easier. I’ve played through a little bit of the original on duckstation and the remaster(?) and it certainly feels just as aggravating on both.
- Comment on [Rumor] Valve may be working on official Waydroid (Android app) support for Steam 5 months ago:
I can get it running on my laptop running a Debian based distro but for whatever reason I was having trouble with the whole thing where you have to use ADB to get the device code to register your device with go*gle services. Otherwise it works just fine.
- Comment on Escape from Tarkov is offering players in-game currency as a bounty for reporting cheaters 5 months ago:
Can’t wait for this to be abused by people spamming reports regardless of whether or not the person in question is cheating.
- Comment on [Rumor] Valve may be working on official Waydroid (Android app) support for Steam 5 months ago:
I see this as a win because if I could ever get Waydroid functioning properly, especially on a Steam Deck, I could more comfortably play the pvz2 mods I wanna play but can’t because android is too locked down for me to be able to move files where they need to go.
