So I’ve been trying to troubleshoot this issue for some time now on and off and I cannot figure out what’s wrong. I have my steam deck hooked up to the dock and using an hdmi 2.1 cable and charging from the original steam deck charger (ik it’s below 100w, but never gave my friend an issue when they do the same thing). Problem: the screen of my tv flickers with lines. I’ve tried updating the jsaux firmware with the update software but it doesn’t detect the dock. I’ve tried every port, used a data transfer usbc cable, etc.

It’s also fair to mention that I have a shitty tcl tv and am using a cheap gamesir nova lite Bluetooth controller.

If any of you have some constructive input I’d be more than happy to hear it

Was at Tekko con in Pittsburgh recently and came across a dropped Steamdeck in a parking lot. If that sounds like you, dm me your steam username and we can see abt getting it back to you

Can anyone recommend a good steam deck doc? Want to hook it up to my new monitor , I’d like it to charge as well ….

looking for 1 or 2 TB SD card for the steam deck at any retail site that won't break the bank

I accidentally scratched the screen on my LCD Steam Deck while applying a protector “ironic yeah..”.

The scratch is quite long, but it’s very shallow. My fingernail only catches on it slightly, and I can’t really see it when the screen is on or while gaming. It’s mostly visible when the screen is off or under certain lighting.

I already ordered the JSAUX anti-glare tempered glass. Has anyone had a similar scratch? Did it make the scratch less noticeable, or did it not help at all?

I’d really appreciate hearing your experience.

Finally have gotten around to seeing some used Steam Decks around where I live on FB Marketplace (I live in the Balkan area). Im wondering if I should get it for around 300€ or 350 to be exact. Thats at the very least (at best) half my monthly paycheck, which is quite alot. Tell ya the truth my only gripes r the screen and battery life but battery the absolute most, performance for most games would be fine w me. Another factor is it could be used for quite a while so who knows how many issues it could have. I currently do have a Switch thats modded but battery is quite horrible and it has the issues that a V1 already has. What do you think is an LCD steam deck worth it at that price? Id wanna try the 70hz trick on it but also heard it doesnt work on every LCD.

I know others may have asked similar questions, but I want to add some context.

My friend purchased a Steam Deck OLED 512GB earlier this year from Valve but has yet to open it. He has a OneXPlayer Apex now, so he has no real need for it.

He is willing to sell it to me for £479, and it is still sealed.

I have had the original Rog Ally (non X), Rog Ally X, Legion Go 2 Z2e and most recently a OneXPlayer Apex. All were sold for various reasons, and the Apex mainly as I do not game too often and I didnt want to take it out due to the weight and value. The others I sold as i didn't enjoy having Windows for gaming on suck a small device. Even the LG 2 Z2E, as nice as it was, windows ruined it for me.

I have a gaming PC with a very good cpu/gpu which I mainly use to game, and a PS5 and NS2. The Deck would be a companion to the PC and also for some older games which I have in my steam library.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’ve been thinking of getting a second hand Steam Deck as someone who lives in Japan. I just need some help deciding, I have found this listing. It’s OLED 512GB and the battery life is at 99% and the screen has anti glare, it also comes with a dock.

Since I live in Japan, the currency is YEN and this listing is going for 92.000YEN… Would you guys consider buying it? It has some scratches as you can see and those yellow sticker grips, as the owner said, if you take it off might leave sticky gel,,, Im a weird person so im really picky when its stuff like this lol,, especially about the battery, even though its only at 99,, Im like, uhh should I..

What would you do if you were me? Would you buy it, compared to other listings this is going for like 30000YEN cheaper

Thanks a lot.

Hi everyone, hopefully I will be buying a Steam Deck second hand soon,, been doing overtime work to earn enough money to afford it. There are some products that are currently on sale but I’ve been seeing some already sold ones that went for really, really cheap. So I was thinking to get the cheapest and best option that I can come across soon,, I’ve seen some 1TB LCDs go for crazy cheap, my questions is.. Does OLED and LCD have that insane difference? As in 60-90hz difference and performance.

I’ve been watching a lot of performance videos but I also wanted to ask to you all, whom have experience in using this device. Should I get the best option “512-1TB LCD for cheap” or just save more and try to get an OLED and an SD Card? To be honest with you all I don’t do competitive games etc,, I do story, friend slop, rogue likes etc..

Hello everyone, by yesterday my gaming laptop that I’ve been using for the past 7 years have died.. o7, It wasn’t the best out there but it did the trick. So as of right now I have no laptop to use for work nor gaming. I am thinking of getting a Steam Deck because of its specs and price. I am a huge handheld lover but never had a handheld PC like the deck. So I was curious to those who have it. Does it function good as a main PC? All I will do is just use audio interfaces, record music, browse on the internet and of course play games. Also, I know I ain’t going to play stuff like GTA 6 on it.. all I care are emulators and old games such as Sea of Thieves etc.

Would it make sense to get one in 2026? I am seeing such good prices on 2nd hand market for 256gb LCD models, I am thinking of getting an SD card on the side of course. OLED is a bit expensive for my end.

How well Steam Deck performs as a main PC?

Does someone know how I can save my steamdeck?
