Hey, guys. @ryper@lemmy.ca brought to my attention that Valve already addressed the situation about the batteries for the steam deck LCD.

For those who are out of the loop, I posted this news article earlier today: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/07/it-looks-like-ifixit-wont-be-getting-any-more-steam-deck-lcd-spare-parts/

Here's the most relevant bit from this article:

The Reddit story wasn’t necessarily false. Earlier today, iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens confirmed to The Verge that it had indeed heard that Valve would no longer make replacement batteries or screens for the original Steam Deck LCD.

But by afternoon, Valve and iFixit had already managed to change that. “They have hooked us up with a supplier, we’re working on it,” Wiens now tells me. And if Valve does decide to sunset the part in the future, iFixit says it’ll be ready to take up the torch by using an aftermarket supplier instead. “I want people to know we are going to find a way to get batteries for these things,” says Wiens.
