Take a look inside Steam Deck™!

Показать описание

One of the most frequently asked questions we've received about Steam Deck is about the components inside it, and whether they're replaceable or upgradable. The answer is a bit more complicated than just a yes or no, so we've made a video to explain all the details. Spoiler alert: we DON'T recommend replacing parts yourself, but we still want you to have all of the relevant information about Steam Deck's components.

Anyway, this is the first public look at what's inside the device, so we hope you enjoy it.

"Don't do this! But if you did want to do this, here's how..."

Recommending parts suppliers is the biggest move from a hardware supplier. Huge props to Valve, this needs to become industry standard.

I love how Valve is actually talking to us like we know what we're doing and filling in blanks specific to the Steam Deck rather than talking down to us like we're idiots. They chose the one option that would actually prevent units from being damaged because it communicates to both sides respectfully enough that people are actually hearing what's being said.

"The Valve Corporation would like to remind you, that modifying the Valve Steam Deck, can, and will, lead to: electrocution, second degree chemical burns, death, and most notably, voiding the warranty of the Valve Steam Deck."

I mean, I like the fact that they said “fuck it. We’re warning you big time to not do this but it’s not like we can stop you, so if you really want to and you know what you’re doing then sure, go ahead! Just don’t say we didn’t warn you.”

"Unless you really feel like taking big risks with your property, and your life, which could end if you do this wrong."
That being said in as calm a voice as it was said it made me smile and I don't know why.

Pro tip: when dealing with self tapping screws in plastic, thread the screw in reverse until it clicks or abruptly sinks, then you can start screwing them in the correct direction. This technique ensures that you aren't cutting new threads into the plastic, weakening it.

Every tech channel: "I hope I can take apart the steam deck when it arrives"
Valve: "Oh don't worry I'll do it"

Not only did they not glue everything together for no reason: They had the guts to do their *own* teardown video. And on top of that they alluded to being able to get replacement parts. They may not be doing it perfectly, but this definitely puts them well ahead of like 99% of consumer electronics companies in terms of respecting right to repair.

It's like a crazy high school science teacher going:

"Solidified salt bombs are highly dangerous and literally explode when it contact with water. Here's how to make it!"

Basically, “You shouldn’t but it’s yours and you can. Here are some of the trappings and pitfalls to be aware of.” That’s Right to Repair-friendly in my book. Knowing that some can have issues we can look for specific SSDs and other components that fit and don’t interfere. My only criticism is that they should have suggested you try to reuse threads when putting the screws back into the plastic. Repeatedly cutting new threads will damage the plastic screw post whether you use a torque wrench or not… and then you’ll need a new front housing.

I love how they specifically show how to replace the joysticks, especially after all the shade directed at Nintendo.

"Did your joysticks break? Don't worry, you *don't* have to buy a completely different console, you can just replace it like this!"

So glad Valve has a positive attitude towards repairs, hoping this becomes industry standard!

3:40 The fact that they not only say "dont use another ssd cuz it's bad, but actually explain WHY makes this video much more trustworthy"
