Steam Deck: Why can't the machine be started without plugging in the c为什么不插充电线开不了机

Wed, 28 Feb 2024 03:38:09 -0700

After playing the game in the evening, the battery was 18%. I plugged in the data cable. By the way, it was late. I quit the game and pressed the steam key - Power - Shut down. After charging for about an hour, I unplugged the data cable and turned off the light to sleep

The next day, I couldn't turn on the machine. I plugged in the charger and turned it on, thinking it was OK. When I saw 100% full power, I unplugged the charger and the screen went black

Now the charger must be plugged into the machine to play normally!!!!!

At present, it is useless to re insert and unplug the battery after removing the back cover,

The BATT 100% and charger logo can be seen on the power on performance interface

And there are 99% prompts for diagnosis under the battery, and the figure of 0 watt

Need your help

14号签收，17号晚上打完巫师3看电量18%，顺手插了数据线，顺便看时间很晚了就退出游戏按steam键-电源-关机，充了大概一个小时就拔开数据线关灯睡觉

第二天就开不了机，插了下数据线开机了以为没事，看到满电100%拔开就黑屏了

现在必须得充电器插着开机才能正常游玩！！！！！

装备问题等：目前sd卡刚到货，扩展坞没买

14号晚上整的系统，第二天15号整浏览器steam++并且下载游戏第三天不知道玩啥，第四天群友说的巫师3就下载了打了2小时

目前排查：进行拆机后重新插拔电池多次没有用，拔开电池插充电器开机，在性能5级图标看不到BATT 之类的

插电开机能看到BATT100% 和充电器标识

并且电池下诊断那里有99%的提示，和0瓦的图示

Steam Deck: Smoke from USB C Port and Burnt Chargers

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 23:39:53 -0700

My steam deck died iwhen I was playing but when i went to charge it nothing happened. The battery wasnt swollen and everything looked fine. Anyways when I tried to charge it again, it started smoking from the USB-C , so i unplugged it immediately and the charger was burnt. I cleaned the usb-C port and took out the motherboard and now im thinking the USB-C itself is damaged since there is discoloration in the back of the port. What do you think? Also, does anyone know what part number this is? I believe its a fuse , but it came offand its right by the battery connector.

Steam Deck: Steamdeck not displaying but powers on

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 02:37:48 -0700

Good day,

I have a steamdeck LCD. After not using it for a few weeks i wanted to turn it on and play with it etc, the power LED comes on and fan turns, but no display.

Ive tried some guides I found about reseting firmware by holding down "..." and volume down button, it comes on, LED flashes but no display, even after waiting a few hours for this process to complete, my next option would be to buy a docking station and test that way, dont want to spend the money if the problem lays elsewhere.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Steam Deck: Where can I buy Left and right Daughter Board?

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 20:10:28 -0700

My Steam Deck fell down, from 80cm onto carpet but it was enough to destroy both R1 and L1 Shoulder Buttons. They snapped right from the daughter board, ripping the traces. No way to solder them back on.

Now I need a new left and right daughter Board but this part seems not to be sold as replacement. Since it was the first to break from a little drop, I imagine more people would need this soon.

Steam Deck OLED: Identifying internal display ZIF Connector

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 13:00:20 -0700

Greetings,

I have a Steam Deck OLED which has a damaged surface-mount connector that connects the internal display to the device. I have no idea where to find this part, and Steam Support refused to give me the name of it. I heard from someone else that a repair tech was able to use a connector from a Surface Pro as an equivalent, but it's hard to find info on that too.

Otherwise, I'm guessing I'll have to find an equivalent based on the length, width, height, no. of pins, pitch, etc. on Mouser or something but I'm not sure what this double-decker style of pins is called that is on this flex cable (I usually work with very old electronics so I haven't seen this before), so if anyone knows what the official name for that is it'll give me one more parameter to source a replacement.

Thanks in advance.

An image of the connector can be found through the following link on Ifixit's guide to replacing the OLED screen: https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/...

Steam Deck: Shell/casing screw turns but won’t come out

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 13:39:16 -0700

I’m trying to remove the top right 10mm shell screw, but it just turns and turns (cw & ccw) but it won’t reverse out. I think it might have something to do with the screw over self-tapping the plastic and now there is no sturdy threading to grip.

Does anyone have any tips or advice as to how I can get this screw out? I’ve trying applying upward pressure (as in trying to pull the front and back shells apart near this joint) whilst turning the screw, but nothing.

The screw head/drive is not stripped as I can see it turning.

Steam Deck OLED: Left trackpad occasionally not working

Fri, 22 May 2026 00:46:38 -0700

Is anyone experiencing the same issue where the left trackpad becomes unresponsive and can be fixed by turning it off and on again?

I can’t pinpoint the cause because it’s very unpredictable. Sometimes, I can use the trackpad normally, and the next second, it suddenly stops working.

I’ve already tried factory resetting the device, but the problem persists. I’ve also tried updating to the beta version, but that didn’t help either.

Interestingly, the trackpad always worked when I was in BIOS mode, so I’m assuming it’s a software issue.

Steam Deck: Steam Deck Controller ID Lacks Any Letter Code

Wed, 20 May 2026 15:34:22 -0700

I have an LCD model Steam Deck with the only modification done being an SSD upgrade inside. My left stick's rubber ring up top has gotten loose so I'm debating ordering a replacement from here, but hit a snag. Upon checking the Steam Deck Controller ID on my deck, I don't have a proper ID that matches what I've seen online; rather, it simply reads '12345678' with no sort of letter code at all. Is there some way to fix this within Steam itself? Is there something on the stick module inside that also marks whether its a Type A or B on the board?
