@Southboundpachyderm5 ай бұрын
The light leak around the edges happens because the screen isn’t seated right (happens because they heat it up to put it in and then as it cools it contracts and the seal can get loose). Instead of twisting it, just get a heat gun and put it on low for like 30 seconds and then gently go around the edge of the screen with fingers and press down on all four corners at once. Should fix that problem. But don’t turn the heat gun up all the way and don’t put it too close to the screen and don’t just keep it on one area. Unless you want to start a fire then by all means

That blacklight bleeding is a danger on all LCD screens (which most of the TVs and monitors are, except for higher range, like >$800, though QLED is expensive and still also LCD) It sometimes, but not always, can be fixed by massaging the spot, where it is happening. You aren't very likely to get a refund because of it, same goes for a few dead pixels, from most brands.

Feels like the correct solution should be a compressible frame between the screen and case to kill any potential light bleed, as long as that doesn't compromise cooling.

Received it new last year back when the waitlist was still insanely long, and I was so excited to have it I didn't want to immediately send it back, but now I'm thinking I should have, because this thing was too expensive to have an issue like this, and it's too expensive to risk breaking it with the twist method.

Its fact that every steamdeck has that issue. Its becaus ofe changing temperature, warm cold warm cold; material moves slightly a bit and works. Dont forget, the steamdeck can reach up to 105 degree celcius, that alot for such a small device, its like a reactor. By twisting or chiropractice it, it loses pressure on the material. That backlight issue is caused by material pressure. The steamdeck is solid as hell, so dont be afraid when twist it a bit, it will just crack like bones and nothing will happen, but fixing the screen

The steam decks biggest issue is the fact it's a Linux device. (Here comes all the Linux fan boys to fall on their swords) I bought 2 steamdecks, a launch version and an oled version and the only complaint I have is the compatibility dumpster that is Linux. You have to jump through soooo many hoops to install and play certain titles. Ffxiv is a good example of this right now. Or we could go installing mods to skyrim on the deck. 🤷♂️ let the your wrongs begin.
