    • 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.

When will I be able to buy the motherboard?

Jing - Yanıt

What is the actual size of the screws (M1.6, M2 , M2.2) as this information would be helpful if someone was to lose a screw while carrying out a repair or re paste.

Luis Elias castro - Yanıt

Why Can't I buy this accessory？

ziyang - Yanıt

Could we change dram or apu on the motherboard or upgrade thé motherboard ? Cause it s just zen2 and rdn2 .we need better performance and power !!!!

lapartdesanges50 - Yanıt

Neither the ram or the APU are replacable. This is about the most powerful of an APU you can get in this formfactor, while not getting abysmal battery life
