my steam deck has been stuck on the boot screen for over 2 hours now. i cannot factory reset it as i attempted to use the menu that you open by holding the 3 dot button but none of my controlls work to select anything so i cant select the reset option.

    When did this start? Was it working slowly the last time it was turned on?

    Perform the following:

    - Hold the power button for 11 seconds so the unit turns off.
    - Hold the Plus button, then press the power button to power the console on,

    You should be able to access the BIOS menu.

    -Go into Power/Battery settings.

    -Enable battery storage mode, click “YES”, it’ll either reboot as per normal or you’ll need to turn the console back on.

    This fixes a specific bug which causes your steamdeck to only use below minimum power settings and stay on the boot screen for a long time.
