I've had my Steam Deck for almost one year!

And today, it just stopped working correctly!

I haven't used it in a few weeks because I don't get a lot of time to actually mess with portable gaming stuff except when I'm at home, where all my other distractions are. So naturally, the battery was dead. This is normal, the Steam Deck standby time isn't what I would call very good. So as usual, I plugged it in, waited an hour or so, and went to power it on.

Update:

My RMA replacement should arrive today. Will be interesting to see what all has changed in a year

I have encountered a version of this bug and... A few other battery bugs, actually. I can tell you that there's a storage mode in the BIOS that likes to flick itself on sometimes.

Sometimes you can fix other power related bugs by loading the BIOS and allowing the battery to fully drain on that screen specifically.

Best of luck. I project a magical field that just fixes shit so your mileage may vary.

Already did the battery storage thing, but I'll let it run itself dry overnight and see what happens!

And god SAME on the anti-tech-problem fields. I'm the king of "Yeah I dunno whenever I do the thing it just works" so it's real great to run headfirst into some random issue that doesn't want to fuck off.
