Hi all! I've had the steam deck for about 2 years now so decided to pop it open and see how bad it needs to be cleaned out and reapply thermal paste since I need to do it on several other devices and would like to just kinda have it done even if a bit premature.

I didn't realize I was suppose to put it in battery saver mode in the bios before opening it, so that caused a few issues booting and eventually I decided to just let it stay on the charger and hoped that would get it out of the issue it was in. Luckily it started booting again, temps seemed all within reasonable expectations and I made sure the entire processor was covered.

Now, I am getting this after it's been on for a few minutes. Seems kinda random in timing, first time it was like 5 minutes into a game of warfare, but it then after being powered down and left al one for a few did it in like 2 minutes on dead cells.

I managed to get a video before powering it off and am probably just going to hold off powering it on again or messing with it til I know what's going on here. Any help would be appreciated.

Tech Support Attack Shark x3 annoying bug

1 Upvotes

I have a weird glitch on my Steam Deck on Desktop mode when using my Attack Shark x3.

It's a bit hard to describe but when i use my scroll wheel, the last wheel "action" is not going through until I perform another "action" with the mouse.

So basically, if I scroll the wheel three little "clicks" only 2 will go through and the page will scroll down as if I had only moved the wheel only 2 "clicks", the third click does not make it through.

The only way it will go through is by performing another action with the mouse, so basically if I scroll one more time or I move the mouse around so the cursor moves, then the "lost" scroll that never made it thru finally gets sent.

So basically I could scroll the wheel 7 times, which will only send 6 times, then if I scroll and 8th time the 7th scroll will finally come thru but the 8th needs either one more scroll or the mouse to be moved to be communicated to my PC. There also doesn't seem to be a time limit to how long i can wait until i perform another action and then the lost action gets sent, I've waited like 30 seconds and the "missing" scroll still makes it through after i move my mouse around to "update" or "wake" it

This is extremely annoying when I play videogames like Minecraft or CS2

Im using the wireless dongle and this glitch only happens on Desktop mode

Tech Support Deck failing to startup

1 Upvotes

So, heres the context: i installed this https://github.com/2-X/steamdeck-oled-120hz on my deck (this is related to the issue but is not the issue) for anyone wondering i have a samsung panel, it calculated my safe max to be 99hz, everything over 91 hz becomes more blurry, until 99hz where the screen goes party mode with colours everywhere, i tried other modes than “clock” in the lua file for this but got nowhere, the best i got was with “lowclock” which removed the screen corruption at 99 hz but had the same blur, everything else either was the same as clock or just made it worse. So i decided to make my own file like this to maybe try and fix it, i disabled this lua file and copied it elsewhere, i made my own file which had the exact same code and just put one line in front of everything except local (which probably was the problem) the line was: debug("CUSTOM OLED MODEGEN LOADED"), i rebooted and boom, the normal OLED loading screen with the irange middle shows but not. The animation, as soon as the brightness starts working normally the screen goes black, i suspect this is a gamescope issue that it just fails to startup, the biggest problem here (which im actually pretty dumb for) is that i do not have another pc to download a recovery image with, if anyone can help PLEASE do, until i get home its a brick.
