Valve's Steam Deck might be easier to repair than you think
Steam Deck and discovered that it's relatively easy to repair, with a few notable exceptions. It doesn't require much effort to get inside, with clear labels for"basically everything." The design is modular enough that you can repair many elements without replacing or dismantling more components than necessary.You can replace the SSD with a similarly small equivalent using one screw, and removing the display doesn't require much more than a suction cup and some heat.
This isn't quite a self-repair paradise. Battery replacements are"rough," according to iFixit, with elaborate procedures that include draining most of the pack for safety's sake. That's a problem when the battery can drain in as little as 90 minutes.You may also want to be gentle with the USB-C port and microSD slot, as both are soldered to the Steam Deck's custom motherboard..
