Today, after over a year of owning the Deck and taking it apart multiple times, I did the thing everybody warns you not to do.

    At least you made it physically broken, not like the issue when steam deck randomly bricks Kingston SD card

    This is why I’m too scared to take mine apart. I don’t even have an SD card.

    How? I have handled plenty of cards and i got them stuck by inserting them wrong, the spring not working properly, hell i even send it flying across the room several times cause of the spring being too stong. But never in my life have i seen this happaneing. Rip.

    I hadn’t removed the SD card since I got the deck the other day I was trying to get it out and when I pushed it in it clicked but didn’t get pushed out . I had to dig it out with tweezers, it was jammed pretty good as card survived but has a couple scratches now

      I was worried when I did the same upgrade, but made sure to write down several post it notes in my workspace to quadruple check. I took it out before I even started to unscrew the case, but my heart did still skip a beat and there was a mini moment of panic right before I was going to pop the case open… checked again enough tho I knew I had already removed it.

      I was more worried about stripping the screws… just make sure you use the right screwdriver and don’t try to force it. Had zero problems - most difficult part was getting the foil sticker off and wiggling the batter connector from the mainboard - it’s in there at kind of a weird angle and is very tight, so just shimmy it gently back and forth and it will eventually dislodge itself.
