Steam Deck OLED Right Thumbstick Replacement

简介

Use this guide to replace the right thumbstick in your Steam Deck OLED. The stick is part of a complete module and needs to be replaced as one unit.

Although the procedure is nearly identical, follow this guide to replace the left thumbstick.

Remember to follow general electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety procedures while repairing your device.

    • Turn on your Steam Deck and allow the battery to discharge below 25% before starting your repairs, as a charged lithium-ion polymer battery can be dangerous if accidentally punctured.

    • As an extra precaution, Valve recommends putting your Steam Deck into battery storage mode within the BIOS before starting any internal repairs. Read how to do that here.

    • Power down your Steam Deck and unplug any cables.

    • If you have a microSD card installed, make sure to remove it before opening the Steam Deck. If you attempt to remove the back cover with it still installed, it could snap right in half.

    • During your repair, it can be helpful at times to lay the Steam Deck face-down in its case to protect the thumbsticks and prevent wobble.

    • Grip the battery cable pull tab, located to the left of the battery.

    • Firmly pull the battery cable straight away from the motherboard shield (toward the battery) to disconnect it.

    • This bundled cable is fairly stiff. If you're having trouble, re-grip the pull tab close to the head of the connector and gently walk it side-to-side as you pull.

    • If the cable pull-tab feels fragile or rips during this process, remove the motherboard shield and disconnect the cable using a spudger.

    • When the battery cable comes free, it might push up on the motherboard shield. Don't worry, as this won't damage anything.

Hi there, can the thumbstick modules from the LCD model be used in the OLED? I'm not seeing a listing on ifixit's website for OLED specific thumbstick modules.

Molsen - 回复

I have the Gulikit joystick modules from the 1st gen SD and although the mounting locations are the same the flexible tape wiring harness is wider on the 2nd gen OLED SD. Another issue will/would be, is if you have a 2nd gen limited SD with the red accents it appears you most likely will have to desolder/solder a single wire for each unit in order to reuse those red shields with the newer sticks. Not a horrible task but one to beware of.

1. I'd wait till someone pops a drop in replacement like they did for the 1st gen.

2. Keep an eye out to see if they make it in the color you're replacing.

Hope this helps.

@molsen No they can't, totally different daughterboard (annoyingly). There seems to be a around 3 (maybe 4) different versions of the right and left thumb stick. The oled version the daughterboard also contains the switch for L1/R1, the LCD version doesn't have this switch on that board.

The models seem to start MHDA, MEDA, and MLCB (and maybe an MECB)
