    • Turn on your Steam Deck and allow the battery to discharge below 25% before starting your repairs, as a charged lithium-ion polymer battery can be dangerous if accidentally punctured.

    • As an extra precaution, Valve recommends putting your Steam Deck into battery storage mode within the BIOS before starting any internal repairs. Read how to do that here.

    • Power down your Steam Deck and unplug any cables.

    • If you have a microSD card installed, make sure to remove it before opening the Steam Deck. If you attempt to remove the back cover with it still installed, it could snap right in half.

    • During your repair, it can be helpful at times to lay the Steam Deck face-down into its case to protect the thumbsticks and prevent wobble.

    • Use a Phillips driver to remove the eight screws securing the back cover:

    • Four coarse thread 9.5 mm-long screws

    • Four fine thread 5.8 mm-long screws

    • Despite the standards, Phillips screwdrivers can vary in size and shape—two drivers labeled as the same size may fit differently in the same screw. Use the size that fits the snuggest into the screw head.

    • Throughout this repair, keep track of each screw and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from to avoid damaging your Steam Deck.

All good! but you are missing the last step as you will need to replace the Dpad contacts and place them on the new bumper.

Corey Church - Yanıt

I broke the Step 17 connector's support, with no preassure, just as a lever, any idea on replacing the DAF7ATH16F0 Rev F (last 0 may be a O) board? I will solder the broken connector but I don't think I will be able to, so small

Carquis - Yanıt

This part is not available in Canada, I've seen your product advertised all over the tech industry, but this part is not available to ship to Canada, that's too bad, I would have purchased the repair kit along with this part, I guess I'm stuck with the rma process. I guess right to repair is still very broken.

FlyingToaster - Yanıt

Any news on when this part will become available for purchase?

Marco C - Yanıt

Just so others are aware, I haven't seen the Left button board or the Right button board available for purchase from Ifixit just yet. I just took apart my deck having ordered a left bumper replacement set thinking this would fix my issue, it will not. The issue is the switch itself that is attached to the Left Button Board
