So this is highly unethical, but I’m gonna share anyway. When you RMA hardware to steam, they send new units before the defective one even ships. My Index had a dead pixel in the headset, they sent me a new one, asked that I would return the old one, and then they just totally forgot about it and never messaged me again. This happened again when one of my Steam VR base stations died, they just sent a new one and never even asked for the old one. So it’s between you and God mate, but you could very easily get a new OLED deck right now and sell the almost perfect one you have for almost full price and get out like a bandit with a free Steam Deck
