Steam Deck DIY Repair Fail - Can I Fix It?! I paid $350 for this broken Steam Deck. The seller said they dropped it and broke the screen, but then they replaced it and it worked for a while and then stopped working. Hopefully I'll be able to figure out what is wrong and get it working again.

I bricked my Steam Deck and it behaved very similarly. It turned out the bios was bad and I had to reflash the BIOS chip with a CH341 programmer, might be worth a look. Wishing you all the best as well, Steve!
indeed try a CH341 , few bucks worth the try
We need to like this post, maybe it'll work :)
The number times I have fought with my Deck to turn on / get the display to turn on is a massive blight on what is otherwise a perfect device.
Yeah, I think you're onto something here. I feel like it has to be something like this.
This is exactly what I was thinking, this is behaving like a corrupted BIOS, possibly a power failure during a critical update mid bios flash, or just user error.
Get well soon, if the doctors are half as good as you at repairs then you have nothing to worry about. All the best.
Imagine a future where they could just order an TronicsFix's Steve's Human repair kit and change the broken parts! Jokes aside, get well soon steve!
If your doc is wearing one of your "I fixed it until I broke it" t-shirts, run fast.
Where would the thermal paste go ?
Usually applied in perfectly excessive amounts before an ultrasonic scan. ;)
@@modermonkula you know where.
Steve, I too was diagnosed with cancer, stage 4 pancreatic. Just received my 2nd chemo and I am feeling better and able to get around and do the thing I like, watching your channel being one of them. Hang in there and we'll go through this together...
When was u diagnosed because people with stage 4 usually only live several years and can't be treated easily
@@CuriousGamer022 live several years? well suggest you go and look it up, wrong information totally.
@@CuriousGamer022🙄
@@CuriousGamer022 😐🤐
Oh Man, how sorry I am about that. I wish you the best and a speedy recovery
Praying for a swift recovery, Steve! Glad you are doing Ok with treatments so far and can still do most of what you normally would. Also glad you are taking time when you need. I am always happy to see TronicsWife in your vids and would be glad to see her make her own. Feel free to let her continue that even when you are back in tip top shape 😉
Thanks!
@@Tronicsfixwhat happend if u dont mind saying?
@@Tronicsfix 🤟🤟
@@CuriousGamer022 just read the blog as he mentioned in the video. Or check the posts he made on the channel awhile back explaining it. He has already provided you an answer on whats happened just use what he provided
Wishing you a speedy recovery brotha! Love all your videos and can honestly understand a need to step back and take care of yourself. I don’t have a steam deck but want one now !
I had lymphoma 12 years ago. Had two surgeries. All went fine. And you will recover soon, don't worry, man.
Depends if he's strong enough to pull through
@@CuriousGamer022🙄
That’s great encouragement but even better to hear you made it through. @fedorin1234. I’m glad somebody is winning
I'm huge fan and have been watching your videos for the last couple of years! Because of you I've started repairing the old electronics I used as a kid! I cannot thank you enough for getting me into this hobby. I wish you the best and hope for a swift recovery. Much love for Portland Oregon!!!!!
I'm so relieved to see you have finished first round of your treatment. You look very strong and energetic. Wish you A speedy recovery. Thank you for still providing us with your content
Been a fan for years, my husband and I have been watching your videos together for ages and now our 5 year old enjoys watching them too. We're all sending you love and health in your recovery! ❤
Wish you getting well ASAP bud
Thanks! Two more treatments to go...hopefully.
@Tronicsfix keep fighting, we're all praying for you. I've been following for a while and my 6 y/o daughter loves tour videos too.
My mom had cancer too... Is something i wish to no one to have... I wish you a swift recovery ❤️
And by the way... You have a cool headform, you looks very cool bald too, no need of a hat or something else.
Thanks! I appreciate that. Hope your mom is doing ok now.
@@Tronicsfix sadly my mom passed away in 2022 but not because the cancer, she had a gastroscopy and the doctor has injured her internally... She died from internal hemorrhage. But she had anyway a full recovery from the cancer and had a happy life.
@@techgirl517 Damn I'm so sorry to hear that
@@iceman8443 She don't died because the cancer, she had something at her stomach and the doctor during the gastroscopy has injured her, she died of a internal hemorrhage. But thanks anyway for your kind words ❤️
@@iceman8443 That's rough. Very sorry for your loss
I wish you a speedy recovery with your Illness I lost my wife to cancer two years ago and I discovered your channel around when I first met her . I think you are a true inspiration to a lot of people I wish you the best x
All the best Steve! My Steam Deck is currently getting repaired and I miss it. Content like this is helping me pass the time until it's back. Thankyou!
You’ve honestly been an inspiration to me since I first started following this channel - then to not be afraid to face DIY repair projects, and now to be fearless in facing the biggest of life’s broken screens
Hey there, I'm the guy who sold you the deck! Very excited to see how this turns out. I was close to going down the "It bricked, let's try reflashing the BIOS" route but never pulled the trigger on it. Seemed just a tad too daunting for my experience level. Good luck! Wishing you all the best!
Steve, love you man. You're the reason I discovered my love of electronics and soldering. Now I'm into solar systems, building and fixing small electronics and toys, and it all started with watching your channel. Not to mention you're a good looking dude (bald or not). I appreciate you and how genuine and down to earth you are, it is comforting to see in an angry nerd dominated industry. I'm always excited to see a new video. I hope you're resting and taking care of yourself as best you can during this time. Wish you the best with everything!
Been watching your videos for a while now and I enjoy your content. You've motivated me to learn how to fix my electronics and to continue to learn.
Sucks to hear what your going through.
Would like to pay it forward.
I hope you beat it and you're around for a long time. I really enjoy and appreciate all your content.
Thank you!
I love your content, used to work in IT and got my tinkering and repair out of my system there but now I work in the military and can’t do it as often but your videos are always intriguing and fun to watch. Hoping for a full recovery from my favorite creator!
Oh noo I just found out about your health situation. I hope you stay strong and have a speedy recovery. You are my fave channel when it comes to teardowns and fixing consoles. I have learned a lot from your videos. You are simply the best. It is also my birthday today. Wish you all the best, Steve!
First off, I am praying for a speedy and full recovery.
I was able to find this on reddit, and it didnt look like it was something you tried. Hopefully this works!
"Completely power it off
Connect the ac adapter (the LED should be solid white)
Press the volume + and the "..." button in front of your deck for 10 seconds
When the LED starts blinking 3 times disconnect the power brick while still pressing the buttons
When the LED turns off after blinking connect it again to the ac adapter and it should boot normally"
Yep, tried it. Thanks for the prayers.
I saw you try the button combo but not the power cable removal an plug back in sequence. Sorry if I missed it. @@Tronicsfix
I didn’t try everything on camera.
Good luck with your fight. I was diagnosed over 4yrs ago myself, chemo is definitely yucky, lol. I haven't lost my head hair but my legs are nearly hairless now. Best wishes and fight the good fight!
Yep, it's no fun but so far it's been manageable.
I hope you can get well dude, you've taught a lot of people great things!
Been keeping you in my prayers Steve for a swift and cancer free recovery! Always enjoy watching your videos! Hope you get the Steam Deck up and running. 😊
We're rooting for you, Steve! Thank you for all of the excellent videos
Me and the wife watch your videos,you have taught me a lot and i appreciate it. Take care of yourself and I am praying for a speedy recovery. My Steam Deck does the exact same thing except I can get a screen on an external monitor.Hope you get it figured out and teach me how.
Praying for a speedy recovery Steve, thank you for all your content, we appreciate it very much ❤❤❤❤
Oh man this really got me on the wrong foot. 😥So so many family members of mine struggled with cancer especially in the last two years and it's a fierce fight you're engaging with. I wish you nothing but the best and I will pray for you. May the Lord bless you. Your videos have helped me so much on my journey and thanks to you I could help many friends and family with their devices. Thank you and get well soon! 🙏❤
Hats off to you. I wish you a speedy recovery! You are an inspiration to all of the DIY-fixers.
Wishing you a safe recovery!!! You're the reason I managed to fix my cousin's broken JoyCon.
I feel you Steve, 1 am a 2015 pancreatic cancer survivor. Savor every day. Love the videos.
Hoping for your speedy recovery. Thanks for finding the strength to create this videos. Much love here from the Philippines.
wishing you all the best Steve. youve been extremely informative over the years and also entertaining.
Steve, you're one of the best on the platform. Thanks for all the informative and interesting videos! Wishing you a speedy recovery.
First of all, I wish you all the best with your health. If I recall, the black screen is a known problem with the steam deck. You can try to refresh the bios via a programmer. Maybe that will fix it.
Thanks for all your the great vids,Wishing you a fast and full recovery from the UK.
So good to see you making videos Steve. I know that you will recover fully and will be all fine in a couple of months. Keep up the good work man.
I hope you have a safe a speedy recovery! I have learned alot of helpful tips from your videos.

The issue was not fixed, but, oh, what a journey it is to get to the last option.
Keep fixing everything 🎉❤ Hello from Costa Rica.
I'm watching your videos for like 2-3 years now (on another account) and I have learned so much from you! Get well soon, Steve from TronicsFix! ❤
Also, I had to hold my chest when I saw you unplugging the battery with the AC adapter plugged in.
Hey Steve, I was planning to ask how you were doing before I watched the video. I've been thinking about you. I hope you have a rapid full recovery. Best wishes to you and your family.
Man that sucks that you’re going through this rn but I know you’ll make it out the other side even stronger than before! Wishing you luck and health through your treatment ❤❤❤
I wish you the best. Thank you for all you do hope you have a swift recovery. Sending prayers.
Hey Steve , hope you well recover soon bud. loving to watch your fix videos
Hi Steve, my wife is also going through this, she need about 3 month more infusions for breast cancer, and after that comes the surgical remove (opposite than you). Thanks for every video, and stay strong!
I'm wishing you a smooth recovery Steve. Take it easy and don't overdo it.
Praying for you swift recovery steve, I hope you can overcome this
Glad to see you doing well brotha praying for your speedy recovery
Good luck with your journey Steve, I have been watching your videos for such a long time and really enjoy the varied content. I hope you are able to continue what you love doing. Again good luck, chin up and see you on your channel soon. Cheers to you and the wife.
I hope all the best in your recovery. I love your videos man!
I’m not really one to comment because I enjoy your videos but have zero technical knowledge and can’t add anything. But I wanted to drop a line of support as you prevail through your health issues. We’re with you, warrior!
I really wish you well, you seem like a really nice dude! I’ve been around in this channel for a while and I really like your fixes! Keep it up!!
Love the new look, you’re giving me the Jimmy Iovine look!
Honestly praying you get better soon, and you recover to full strength and everything goes well man.
You so deserve it!
Also what would we do without your content ❤
Life is kinda like this steam deck bro. You push all the right buttons but nothing expected happens.
You have a wildly successful YT channel (no one knows the amount of work that go on behind the screen), great personality, great oration skills, great videography, scripting and editing skills that make this channel one of the best I sub for, and bang you have a personal challenge.
Like the trooper you are you share it with us and continue on, that is most appreciated by me at least. Live long, live prosperously and enjoy every second Steve.
Much love brother, awesome video!! Im happy you’re starting to feel a little better! Please keep us posted, I know you’ll win this fight👊❤
Tronics you inspired me to start repairing Switches some years back. Got my 1st hot air and soldering station. You're the best
Hey Steve, I am sorry to find out you are sick. Hoping you recover quickly. Thanks for making all these cool videos, especially under the circumstances.
Looking good, Mr. Clean! We love you, Steve. Keep up your attitude and you will be right as rain in no time.
