Steam Deck repair problems we triage.
Screen and controls
Cracked LCD or OLED, touch issues, thumbstick drift, sticky buttons, trackpad problems, or trigger faults.

SSD and SteamOS

Safe checks
Before mailing it in.
Note the model
Tell us LCD or OLED, storage size, and whether the device was opened, dropped, modified, or liquid exposed.
Check power behavior
Describe the charger, dock, LED behavior, fan behavior, and whether the Deck appears in BIOS or recovery.
Do not keep stress testing heat faults
Repeated overheating can create secondary failures. Stop and request inspection if temperatures or shutdowns are abnormal.
