r/SteamDeckModded

Live in the UK and a few months ago I somehow completely broke my LCD Steam Deck's screen (no idea what I did but oh well).

I looked at a replacement screen from iFixit a few months ago but put it off, today I went back to re-order it but the price nearly doubled from £95ish to £184.99!!!

I'd have preferred the simplicity of just using a stock screen but it looks like the stocks are drying up and I'm not paying the guts of £200 for one.

The DeckSight with anti-glare screen was £155 after VAT+shipping so I've ordered that instead.

My LCD SteamDeck already has an upgraded SSD and PTM7950, are there any other worthwhile mods worth doing whilst it's opened?

Like an idiot i just blindly installed a whole slew of updates on my deck, there was a bios update, an OS update, and a firmware update for my dock. Afterwards my DeckSight screen no longer worked.

Solution: connect to external monitor/keyboard/mouse and boot it to desktop mode. Rerun the initial setup program you needed to use when you first installed the screen, reboot, disconnect charger and reconnect and youre good to go.

Hello, i am trying to get a custom-ish colour scheme for my deck. I have a source for most of the buttons, including the triggers, but the one part im missing is the oled bumpers. They are different from the lcd bumpers so i cant use those.

Sidenote, does anyone know if the extremerate shells have the same subtle texturing as the original deck? And how do i get that on the trigger when i print it? It feels really good in the hand and id like to replicate it.

(Specifically im going for transparent orange buttons to match the deckbuttons ones)

Dead mobo need some ideas

So basically my mobo is dead. I have the day 1 LCD 64gb. But since Ive upgraded alot. The only part that is of matter in this mobo issue is the screen. I upgraded to the dechHD screen when it was launched.

This was fine till the most recent Bios update and it screwed up my screen. So I went through the steps to flash a older bios etc and it worked at first but I had to get a different one then another one that was mentioned to me in another post as reliable.

In the mix is the flash back it stopped working and was in a boot loop black screen. No external screen would work either. Now after all the things I've tried from different forums it will not get power of any kind

Sorry long winded but I found a newer replacement mobo and it's around 315 bucks plus a replacement screen if it's needed at 130.

Is it worth the fix or should I just pull the trigger on 2md hand market rog ally for 350-450, OG legion go 500 or the go s2 with the z2 chip again around 500.

So I did a shell swap for the first time yesterday and after everything was moved over I turned it on and it started fine. I used it for maybe 30 min then put it to sleep while I was doing something else. When I came back it would not turn on and the top led would just slowly blink. I left it charging over night and nothing changed. I read online to let the battery drain so I left it unplugged while the light blinked and after a few hours it just turned on and said it had 99% battery. I used it for a little while then while I was playing a game it just turned off. The fan was still running but everything else just shut down. I have tried holding down volume down and the … button and doing the same with volume up and nothing is happening. Sometimes I can get the led to flash quickly but most of the time it either flashes slowly or not at all. Please give me some guidance if anyone has advice. Thanks in advance.

Edit: Thanks for all your help. Nothing suggested fixed the issue so I ended up contacting valve support and I sent it out for rma. Thanks again everyone!

Hey guys.

I recently bought a steam deck from someone i know. He had a bsod issue and I took a leap and bought it. Tried all possible button combos and nothing worked. Finally bought a ch341a and flashed the bios IC. after this my ateam deck booted and I was ao excited thatbi solved this on my own. One fine day baod came back and I just went ahead and reflashed the bios. This time it booted again.

After the second bsod recovery i saw a software update option and simply went ahead with it. After I saw the shutting down screen my deck never booted again. This BSOD is so frustrating. The thing is third time reflashing the bios also doesn't work anymore.

Since I bought from someone else, didn't contact steam support. Also this is modded with 1TB ssd. Can anyone help me out with this?

It seems cost is often discussed. I would love some input on the above considerations as I look into this
