▲ 21 ▼ 2024 Steam Deck OLED suddenly only powers when plugged in (lemmy.ca) submitted 16 hours ago* by rabber@lemmy.ca to c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz 16 comments fedilink hide all child comments Instant power loss as soon as unplugged No recent drops or bumps that I can recall SteamOS reports 100% battery and healthy Opened it up and reseated battery connections, everything looks ok but no dice Claude guesses it's still a failed battery but don't want to drop $130 on a guess, any other suggestions before I buy a new battery?
[–] haywire7@lemmy.world 9 points 11 hours ago Try sticking it into battery storage mode for about 30mins then restarting it using the mains lead https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+Enable+Steam+Deck+Battery+Storage+Mode/149962 That process won't harm the steam deck and resets a lot of things if they start acting weird, like the touch screen as well. permalink fedilink source
