I swapped my up-to-date LCD SSD into my OLED and while it boots to the menu, I am not able to get WiFi, hear sound, or play games.
When I select different OS branches to force an update, I only get update errors.
Are you aware for any fix for this?
Here’s someone else with the same issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/182wsiu/steam_deck_oled_wifi_and_turning_off_issues_after/
Thank you for confirming this, it’ll make switching way easier.
This is great news! I was just thinking that my biggest headache would be reconfiguring everything just now I like it (Decky plugins, EmuDeck, etc.). Sounds like I should be able to get the OLED pop off the back and throw my current SSD/micro SD in there and it will work!
I assume it brings over all the Linux configs too, like your sudo password?
Odd that you can’t back up configs for plugins and other settings… isn’t there a plugin for that? hehe
why would it not
It was a possibility as it had a different mainboard, different APU, different WiFi card, different screen, different thumbsticks. Without testing no one would know if it would boot, or just require firmware updates.
I’m assuming the SSD swapping is the exact same process as before? Planning on getting a new 2TB for the OLED.
It is even easier than before from what I have seen.
Well fucking duh, of course it boots. That’s like saying a PC can boot a Linux distro.
Taki, are we able to use our clear JSAUX back on the new OLED?
Why the fuck wouldn’t it?
You’ll blow ya minds when you see the charge from the normal Steam Deck charges the OLED!
I’m not really understanding why it was ever a concern it wouldn’t.
This was my main concern tbh. Glad this was answered! I reaally didn’t want to go through the painful process to setting up all my games and emulation again…
Can you check to see if it’s a Samsung display?
Why wouldn’t it work?? It’s just a ssd/nvme drive in a computer, the same drivers are going to be present in the kernel.
This is non-news.
Will the back cover of the Deck OLED fit the OG Deck? Asking because I dig the idea of those Torx screws rather than the current ones that are about as durable as cheese.
You could have worded this as “from LCD Steam Deck SSD” because I was so confused
