Im giving away this steamdeck that needs repair

Yes, I'm giving it away for free, except the shipping cost. It's the model 1010, LCD. I'll add the unofficial dock I was using and a 3D printed holder for the charging cable. It needs some repairs but when docked it works perfectly fine and the performance is still very good.
HOW TO APPLY:
Because I don't want it to end in some hands of boted resellers I would ask you to write a comment that includes the following so I can more easily make sure I'm picking a person that would use it:
-tell me about your favorite childhood game that got you into gaming
-what games would you want to play on it and how do you intend to mostly use it
-to prove you read this all out, include the word "chilly" in your comment.
After I decide for sure which person gets it I'll announce it in an update or comment so there will be only that one recipient. I only expect to get the shipping costs refunded after I send it. Take in account I'm from Slovenia when it comes to shipping.
I won't be reacting to DMs or offers to buy it.
Now here are the things that need to be fixed/replaced:
- the battery is practically dead. It doesn't really work if it isn't plugged in.
- the D-pad doesn't work properly like the inputs are misaligned. There is probably something broken inside the case there.
- there are small broken off plastic parts rattling inside the case
There might be some other issues i hadn't noticed since i mostly used it docked and hadn't touched it in about a year. Other than that it's in pretty good condition and is totally usable, especially when docked where none of the issues listed are noticeable.
So if someone is willing to fix it up themselves or just use it docked I will be happy to send it their way. I had my fun with it and spent years on it but for some time now i had a better setup and it was just sitting in a drawer. I hope someone else gets to enjoy it like i did so please use it and don't just resell it, but yeah, after i give it away you can do with it as you wish.
