After the USBC Port replacement my Steam Deck still did not charge. I double checked each line from the port to be sure everything is good there now. It had troubles recognizing one of two usb orientations and failed to make the PD handshake. After I checked everything and removed this IC, as I suspected it to be faulty everything startet up again.

Now I can not identify this IC to replace it. It has most likely a marking on it „3m“ and above there is something like an 8. Here are some Photos of the IC that I made. I think it’s size is something about 0,8-0,9mm.

One of the four pads is connected to ground. I think after the Port damage this IC was burnt and shorted to ground, so that’s why it started working now again.

Does anyone know for sure what the replacement part for this is? Thanks!

So, my steam deck OLED has problem with the screen. when it is on the home menu and I press the backplate of my deck, it shows some stripes and flicker. and when I play some demanding games, sometimes it can stand for an hour, and sometimes it can't even stand for 5 mins. And after the screen goes black, I still can hear the sound of my game e.g. the steps when I walk around / the sound of pause menu and I still can shut down my deck using my feeling while the screen goes black.

When I connect my steam deck to the dock, I have 0 problem. tried to benchmark my deck for hours with hitman WOA benchmark and play some games after that, it works with 0 problem.

But I notice something, when the screen acts up, and I docked my deck, it shows no signal. I had to restart my deck while it is docked so my monitor can get the signal.

What I already do:

Teardown my deck, change the thermal paste, clean the ribbon cable of the screen, clean the connector of the screen on the motherboard.

So, what do you think is wrong with my deck? I asked around, some people said it is the display and some people said it is the CPU/GPU. I had no problem with replacing the screen by myself. but the OLED screen is not cheap, so I just worried if it is not the screen that has a problem.

What makes me worried if it is the CPU/GPU is when my screen is normal, I can dock my deck normally. but when the screen is act up and I docked it, my monitor shows no signal

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/...

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.

My Steam Deck was submerged in water... I left it alone for 8 months assuming it was completely dead and one day decided to try and boot it up. To my surprise it worked!

Everything works great except it needs to stay plugged in. The second I unplug it the screen goes blank.

I've spoke with steam support whom has asked me to key some information into a cmd prompt in the desktop mode and it shows the battery health is 98% and it is discharging... It also shows the battery as "charging" in the game mode but obviously the battery does not charge.

Just wondering if I am wasting money with a battery replacement or if there would be another issue...

Thanks!

I've checked the audio in-game, on Steam (Gaming mode), and on Desktop mode. The issue is universal. Bluetooth and 3.5mm hack are unaffected. Speaker channel volumes are equal.

I haven't seen anyone else with this same specific issue though I know audio issues with the SD seem to be rampant. I've tried some simple fixes including the Factory reset which did not help.

Anyone have any ideas?
