SteamDeck woes

Here is my timeline, I ordered the steamdeck very quickly after announcement 256Gb

  • Reserved - 16th July 2021
  • Email and Paid - 25th July 2022
  • Shipping - 29th July 2022
  • Arrived - 3rd August 2022
  • Steam Deck died - 28th August 2022 (it never had a fan that was below 7k RPM, so my guess is it overheated)
  • Steam Support contacted -30th August 2022 (there were 4 seperate methods to see if it could be reset and work)
  • RMA initiated - 8th September 2022
  • Steam Deck Sent back - 12th September 2022 (needed to confirm it was replacement not refund)
  • Steam Deck Replacement Shipping Email - 20th September 2022
  • Steam Deck Replacement Arrived - 24th September 2022
  • Fails to boot, does “steamdeck login (tty)” - 2nd July 2023
  • Support contacted - 4th July
  • RMA initiated - 5th July

So I’ve had 2 steamdecks and not quite been 1 year since my original arrived, and ill be on my 3rd soon


Update - December 2023

Since my 3rd steamdeck arrived I have been using it wihout issue, it also has Guilikit joysticks, and now a dbrand teardown skin

Series: none
