This is a better SOIC8 Clip, Clips way easier than the one included in the kit above.

Bro you are genius
Thanks man 🙏🏻
That clip sure is a pain! Nice vid.
I have nightmares about it! Thanks!
Bro you save my Deck, thanks a lot
Ur welcome glad I could help.
If you don’t mind me asking, how did you break your SD?
i program supercars for living, but never jumped start a bios, everything is easy down hill only thing is invest in a good clip is the only recommendation i can give. and most of the time i took was clipping the bios chip haha
The clip was by far the hardest part
Why we have to edit damaged bios file? Couldn't we just download clean one from somewhere on the internet?
Unfortunately, you can’t, each steam deck has a custom serial number in bios chip.
Thanxs
It’s my pleasure
Thanks for your vids because I lost my OC when 3.5 launched and now smokeless and PBS/CBS Jupiter methods do not work so I’m going to reset EVERHTHING and hopefully downgrade bios and get powertools working like it used to.
Glad I could help, yea I’m on 113 bios on windows.
dude i got the same problem i got fail while i overclocking the deck 😂 did you try removing the battery? is that work?
Yea I did but I continued to tweek the vram voltage and then it wouldn’t boot anymore.
Battery and crisis mode couldn’t bring it back
Back up your bios lol
Im willing to try it. We will see what happens
How did it go?
@@Diy_Papi
It didn't fix the issue on my steam deck. So I bought a new one and returned the broken one for a full refund. 😆
Gangster
My Steam Deck bricked after update from valve. I’ve tried everything to fix this. When I saw your video I belived I could save my device. I’ve ordered the programmer, clipped it and…. The app says unknown chip. It’s empty. I don’t have backup of my bios
Are you sure the clip is on properly?
Which steam deck?
Is it LCD or OLED?
If it is an LCD, which release?
The bios does change from the older version, which which I have to the newer ones and I’m actually not sure where the bio ship is on the OLED
@@Diy_Papi Thanks for your reply! I managed that it was my usb extender problem. Plugged directly into front panel usb 3.0 and it’s read it correctly. Unfortunately when it booted it downloaded same update and bricked again 👍
After another flash I turned off my WiFi router and in desktop mode prevented bios update through console. Now I’m waiting for support answers what I should do.
P.s. now I have F7a0118 bios on it and it says in settings that F7a0131 is available. Do I better install it manually?
P.p.s. I have an LCD version but idk which revision
When i get to the step where you oaste the string of numbers i notice it doesnt paste them exactly, like the 00 column is missing 😮
Edit: managed to get the numbers exact and finished the process but screen still wont come on, only the haptics and fan.
Hmmm
From what I can tell its important to get it accurate, if your missing anything you can just add it in manually
This process took me a while to get perfect
Take your time and go slow
@@Diy_Papi flashed it again after manually editing the values to match yours, still no luck sadly, gonna give it one more shot. Does the AC adapter need to be plugged in before you press the power button ?
@@Diy_Papi for further context, I was doing a repaste and I got the slow blinking light once everything was put back together. Didn't put it into battery saving mode before opening, managed to get the slow blink to stop but still wouldn't come on. Tried all manner of button combos as well as unplugging battery and still nothing.
All that's happening now is fans spin on and off before continuously spinning and haptic feedback but no screen light.
No, the AC power does not need to be plugged in as long as there is power in the battery
Sounds like you’re moving in the right direction, try plugging it into an external display and see if you can get a picture out of it
Do you not have a back up bios?
@@Diy_Papi I do, made sure to keep the original bios. Ended up sending it in for repairs and they told me they had to replace the main board as well as the trigger buttons and battery. Pretty sure those were fine and they just wanted to tack on extra stuff to charge more but now I'm waiting on it to return in the mail.
I've taken apart many different gaming consoles to repaste and the steam deck is by far the most finicky lol just gonna leave it alone when I get it back 😅
I got a broken steamdeck for free. It has the blank screen issue.
Nice
