This is why I always say to keep a screen protector on your Steam Deck, it can reduce the likelihood that the screen will be shattered in this manner. Plus if you have the standard model you gain the benefits of an anti-glare screen with an Anti-glare screen protector.

I had one, besides, I dropped it down a flight of stairs, I think it would've been screwed regardless lol

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Ah, yeah. That'll definitely do it. Not that much that can be done to protect it from that (maybe a case like the dbrand Killswitch would save it, not sure, not about to test it on mine).

At least it's relatively easy to repair, and I've also heard valve will accept repairs as well.

Thank fuck the steam deck is user repairable and you can buy replacement parts. That's what I call pro-consumer.

At least the replacement + tools is only about $70!

Perfect opportunity to do a shell swap too, since it’s more or less the same procedure.

no.

Is chance to upgrade to OLED

[-] [email protected] 5 points 21 hours ago

I mean, you can just replace the screen

[-] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago

Unfortunately not

I also wanted to do this when my cat sent by Steam Deck flying across the room and cracked the screen

[-] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

Oh dang. Well anti glare at least.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago

Shh, you meant upgrade to the OLED model :p

Oh, no, I was referring to crippling mental illness, not my balls. Please don't hurt my balls.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 16 hours ago

Don't worry, we only need one of them for the ceremony.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Wait, what ceremony? OwO

[-] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

Don't think they make an iFixit kit for that, but I'll give it a go. Who's your parts supplier?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Mobilesentrix… wait, please don’t make me think about work

It took a while, but no part of the repair was ever difficult, except perhaps taking off and putting on the new screen.

The rule demands sacrifice

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago
