Googd job, thsnk you for video. you should turn reciever off and on by standby button and protection will dssappear. so you will reset your device
@geekmystiqueАй бұрын
had a 90% unresponsive power button but it still clicked; i managed to fix it by working alcohol into the switch body and wiggling/pressing it for a minute. Had to remove the heat sink and move the motherboard back a bit to get to this, but kept most flat cables connected. Seems like there can be some quality issues with these. I love the relative repairability of the steam deck but the power button and usbc straight on the motherboard are a mistake.

Yeah, vendor plating is always an issue. I've had to reject huge lots of contacts.

Got one from Goodwill yesterday, the prong is a bit chipped. Power turns on, then loses power (the blinking light stops) in getting the correct power cord, hopefully it’ll work

Hey there, I was attempting to do this repair but noticed that the central pin solder trace of the button was broken, do you know where I can connect a jump wire to that central pin of the power button? Thanks a lot

Have you had any luck with the black screen issues yet ? I’ve had several in for repair now and not one has been the actual screen or bios. They all work on an external monitor. Wondering if it’s some ic chip issue. ?

WiFi issue and remote play seem to major culprits, also the SD card. Mine is currently randomly shutting down and seems to just die when walking around the house between WiFi signals on the mesh network.

Tried everything as well nothing works. All combo with volume up and power button, volume down woth power button 3 dots with power button every imaginable combo. Nothing worked. The fan works and haptocs work but no boot. Even removed the battery cable.
I have one of these that is not working properly. Power is always on, but none of the buttons work. I pulled the board and I could see the Y1 transistor at position QB1 got really hot and IC at position U2 looks cooked. Not sure if the IC or an equivalent is available to purchase. Any suggestions??
@WayneBagguley2 ай бұрын
U2 is probably a microcontroller, can you see any lettering on it to identify it? QB1 switches the LED and I'd be surprised if that was faulty. What does U7 look like? It's the chip with 8 legs near QB1.

Thank you. The buttons have a long post that actually pushes the little switch. These can slip off and not actually push the switch.

@@SolderBrothers I know the button is clicking because the laser turns off when I press them. But no matter how many times I press the power button, the function won’t change. So no turning it off or on and no blue nebula. Thinking the connection to one of the LEDs is faulty. Also, the motherboard gets hot when plugged in. Thank you for answering so quickly! It’s not the end of the world if it’s a goner, just a fun project we might be able to solve.

@@chloecomunale7018 The board shouldn't get hot, that indicates a short circuit. Which component gets hot? If the laser can still be turned on/off then the microcontroller is probably okay. A dim LED could be another sign of a short circuit on the board. Does the motor still work? Can that be turned on/off?

@SolderBrothers7 ай бұрын
Hi Niko, perpendicular button motions are always a bad choice. As the force is not backed up, the button begins to deflect and lose its ability to connect. Either replace the switch, which will still eventually fail again. Or build up the space between the button and switch.

I just love your videos, even showing when things can go wrong like dropping a screw. I've always been fascinated with fixing items even though I'm a female. When I was 7 years old, I asked for, and received a Mr. Machine for Christmas. (We are speaking of the 1960's here). Then I worked for Motorola assembling and soldering PC boards for their communications. Then I worked for a company called Prince Castle engaging in restaurant timers for their largest client, McDonalds along with Burger King and KFC. Then I worked for a pinball manufacturing company wiring the transformers and made the wire harnesses. I commend you on not cussing with that dropped screw...or did you do some editing? Lol! Again, I enjoy your videos very much. Thanks for sharing. Cindy.
