Oof, I had a similar support experience with an Index RMA. They bounced me across multiple agents that wouldn’t read previous messages and would ask for the same trouble shooting steps I’d already SHOWED THEM, it was hell 🫠

Glad to hear the balls rolling and I pray you get yours fixed soon :)

I had mine for a month too, was yours also in beta branch per chance?

P.S, don’t worry about the posts, it gave me a good chuckle scrolling through my notifications; it happens :P

I forgot about bios mode, thanks!

Although, no dice; no reaction.

I want to do it, I saw the screws and it looked like an easy teardown but I don’t want to mess with the warranty by accident, and I feel like this is beyond a connection issue I could fix

I wish there were more accounts of others trying, but I wouldn’t want to do it unless I knew it would work.

I’m fairly sure it still had charge left when it died, but alas, I tried again and no luck.

I had to unlock it to detach the Frame during my reseating attempt(s), but I’ll wiggle it some with heavy copium-infused magic ✨

I heard this is an issue caused by being in the current beta version, maybe double check that rumor when you get yours.

Hope it comes soon! :)

I had a nightmare experience trying to RMA my Index, but in the end they fixed it past warranty.

I do appreciate their support, even if communication can be iffy at times. My worst fear is a painfully long wait :(

Was expecting worse framerates but the videos make it look almost tolerable.

I hope this gets better, because fuck Nintendo. They deserve to be blindsided by an emulator right when the gaming is getting good.

Very late OP, but there was a keyboard someone made that I found on reddit.

Ctrl, arrows etc… even dedicated copy paste.

This is what I do

Loss of input fix??? O:

Does that mean I don’t have to restart the frame’s desktop environment every time I drag a window and it permanently attaches to my cursor and prevents almost every input?

That would be wicked, was my biggest frame issue

It is, and it plays great. It’s also really good for stream testing, ez to get into and see/listen for issues.

Wish I knew how modded BS runs on the standalone frame, I recall there being some visually intense tracks people made that were wicked fun

Not as harsh as OP on the deck, but it definitely has more issues than those two. However, I’d say most of the problems are caused by Steam’s Big Picture Mode.

I still love my deck its convenient and powerful, but I hate the broken keyboard, borked store navigation & terrible library function, incompatibility with my PC (mindlessly turning one game on during the other system’s play will sign me out of the former system, understandableish but frustrating), getting flashbanged by desktop mode because the brightness will reset to ~65% >o< Not had much screen scaling issues, although wifi does get weak a couple rooms away.

The great casual controls, mini pc, and quick lazy game access makes it tolerable but these issues have been reported for years in some cases and Valve has not fixed them. The Steam Deck is phenomenal but not without faults. Large amount? Perhaps not, but they are ever present depending on your use case.
