Update, after following @Jaybird8388 ‘s lead, I did the hold down power button till fans turn off. This seemed to kick it into a new cycle. It still did blink the led orange for a while and flashed a bit. After about 4 min I saw the SteamDeck lego and I could then finally log in. Downloading my games now. Thanks for all the help and support 👍

Hopefully this works for everyone and helps others in the future.
