I knew grabbing cheap games for my potato-computer would pay off one day! Got it off Facebook for $140

    Hard to imagine a “wrong charger” doing that unless it’s a piece of unregulated cheap Chinese crap

      It’s the only thing I could think of. One day it was working fine, I hooked it up to a charger (grabbed the wrong wire, not the official one, but a 5v one), and the next day, the screen didn’t turn on anymore, but the Deck itself still works, when I attach it to a screen.

          I second this. My experience with Steam support for a broken Steam Deck (white OLED) was outstanding.

          They sent me a full replacement, brand new, also white OLED (after you couldn’t buy them anymore). I was amazed.

            Steam is an amazing company. Probably the best company in terms of customer support in the U.S. many businesses could learn from them. There is hardly anyone who has a bad thing to say about them.
