Valve should just make the Deck 2 easily replaceable battery in the future.
This is also easy. Just do it.
@@TrompKrameri think it’s more about the nervousness with the heat gun, if you’re too far with it the process is a lot longer and if you’re too close, it can cause alot of damage. Also mind you that not everyone is techy so what may be easy for you isn’t easy for others. Bet if I took you back on an aircraft carrier and told you to do the job of a console recorder, it’ll be easy for me but hard for you kid
Dude! You just saved me. My steam deck hasn’t turned on in days and I’ve tried every means to try boot it up. The fan spins but the deck itself didn’t display. I tried to put the battery in battery storage mode but didn’t work, so I opened up the deck and couldn’t figure a way to pull out the battery cable because I felt it was glued. Your video saved me!!!! Thanks a lot 🙏🏼
Bruh I'm having the same problem with mine. I hear it running, and the LED light turns on and then turns off, but the display is black. Also this happens even when plugged in.
This seems easy enough! I need this so bad as my OG Deck's battery is at 70% BH
thats still another good 2 years left on it
Just replaced my steam deck battery , I was 3 months past warranty so had to replace it on my own. The replacement was very easy and everything is working perfectly now! Thank you ifixit!
Out of stock NICE😃👌🏾
Is there a video for the OLED deck ?
Could you use the Apple Pulltabs when reinstalling the battery? Seems like this would make further repairs easier.
my thought exactly. that way you can just pull tab it over heating.
Changed the battery on my OG stead deck today and can confirm that there’s almost no chance of anything going wrong if you use a bit of isopropyl alcohol to loosen the tape
Some important details that are omitted here are that firstly there are only two strips of tape on the larger battery cell- one on the left and another on the right so if you’re going to slide in a plastic card and wriggle, do it on the edges
Second, it is not the kind of acrylic polymer tape that will release with heat but it’s a very strong double sided foam-based tape. This means, if you can get some alcohol in there with a plastic card and just tear through some of the foam, that’s good enough too.
Once the foam tape breaks down on either the top or bottom, it’s just really easy to slide a card in on that side and lift it up and the test of it will come off quite easily. Remember, you’re dealing with a foam strip and not raw adhesive- this is the main detail here
Nice, thanks!
Is it possible to replace it with a larger battery or can you put the oled battery in the original deck?
Please kindly provide for the OLED version IFixit, it would help us owners out a lot.
Was this reuploaded? I remember seeing this video a few days ago.
HUH 1 day ago! So fresh work 🤭
Could you use an iOpener instead of a heat gun?
how can you put it in battery storage mode if the battery if fully discharged would be no power.
heres a question, do you *have* to reapply the adhesive on the new battery, and could you trim it down to just be around say, the edge of the battery or only a few small spots so that way if it does have to come out again, it isnt as much of an issue?
Finally someone said it!!!!!
@@bill_birba for real I'm still wondering this. I'm wondering does the battery having that adhesive all the way make it so the air doesn't go under or something or if there would be no issue actually doing what I mentioned I really would like someone who's knowledgeable on this to let me know because when the time comes and I need to change the batt I'd be tempted to do this
the 'deck is a decent piece of hardware, shame valve went with adhesive on batteryl nicely done iFixit team!
this
yea I like steam, but they really need to make the battery easily replaceable. this should be a common move.
Please do iPhone 15 Pro teardown.
So I replaced it, but the battery shows 0% when unplugged and 100% when plugged in. Then it also says nan%?
Why would we want to put adhesive on the new battery when this was exactly what you complained about when the teardown was done? If anything the leftover adhesive from taking the old one out would be enough to hold it since it's in a well that is going to but against the case when you put it back on.
Ribbon cables are extremely fragile, and a loose battery pressing against them even a little bit could destroy them, the adhesive is needed because of this design.
Ordered a replacement but the battery I just installed will not take a charge. It’s at 53% and will not go up in charge after being on the charger for an hour. Any ideas other than a bad battery?
faulty batt, you should buy to trusted shops.
i wish for the next model they can be easily replaced like the psp battery
Wow, that's a very dangerous design valve have gone with there using adhesive and needing to heat the battery. Using a plastic bracket and screws like laptop batteries would have been the more sensible option, but can understand there may have been space restrictions.
You removed the aluminum tape and didn't put it back on after replacing the battery and closing the back again. Is that safe? People are saying that tape keeps away harmful signals from the motherboard.
Doesn't carry the 50 watt battery
I've got 19 year old laptops with batteries that still work; this says A LOT about the steam deck quality.
Yeah, this video is puzzling to me as well. It’s only been out for about a year
I got my steam deck during the q3 pre-order shipments and my steam deck’s battery is still tip-top shape as it was when it was fresh from the box. I think the reason why this video exists for the worst-case scenarios such as being in a too hot environment.
Different chemistry on that battery, different energy density, different voltage/current requirement for device, and finally, chances are that's a big ass bulky laptop with no dedicated graphics hardware and the only real semiconductor device giving out significant heat is the CPU which would be far away from the batter when you compare to something as compact as the steam deck.
Also I'm pretty sure it has something to do with a regulator in the battery that gets tripped somehow. So it's not that the battery is dead but a part of it that can't be fixed without a full replacement.
Why have I seen this before
Thot the same
I thought the steam deck was user repair friendly 😢
I wonder what caused iFixit to re-upload this...🤨
My Steam Deck battery is down to 85%
83 on mine but didnt notice
80% here but I'm noticing it
Sadly it arrived a year and a couple months ago so it's barely over
Mine now says 99 so I think you just have to cycle it
Where do you see that information? In the boot loader?
@@Mikhail-Kuhn On the desktop, there’s a battery icon on the bottom right.
Wish I’d watched this before throwing mine in the bin because the battery was dead
Lol
nintendo switch batt is better.
I noticed this with my brothers who had Nintendo switch but honestly it's graphical capabilities are weaker than the steam decj
Facts never have an issue with my switch. Bought my buddy steam deck when he upgraded to the OLED and it stopped working three months later.
