He i dropped

Finding and rb button for lcd is a knightmare I can't do this cause my rb button snapped clean in half and to get a new one I would have to buy a 3rd party set of buttons I don't need.

Will the OLED left bumper button work on the lcd model?

my right bumper is pressing the button it's just not being registered i believe it's because my friend was pressing on it to hard too much so i'm not sure if it's possible to fix that my self

One thing that always amazes me about the Steam Deck is the community behind it. Everyone is eager to learn and help each other out, any issue i've encountered or any question I've had was answered with just a quick Google search, this time was no different. Amazing tutorial, although a bit lacking on the visuals at times, which is to be expected given how finnicky the process is at times. What was not seen though was well made up for with your detailed commentary. I had no trouble following along with this video even as a complete beginner, my first time taking apart any of my electronics - the extent of what i had done previously reaching only taking apart a mechanical keyboard. I wanna take a second to give some advice from my experience with fixing this for people who may run into the same problem. When you disconnect all the ribbons off of the button circuit board thingy, you can simply lift it off and move it to the side, without screwing around with the tiny white cable with the black and red wire (which i believe concerns the haptics for the touchpad). It's so difficult to remove and I couldn't even manage to do it, for me that proved tricker than the trigger hinges. You're better off just lifting the circuit board and putting it aside slightly so you can access what's underneath without risking tearing the cable or its black housing. Another thing is, the fix itself, I only managed to get it to a place I was happy by clipping off the end of a safety pin, bending it in a U shape and filing the pointy end and the "butt" of the U to get the desired height. The paper clip proved to be too thick for my situation, even if i did strip it a lot, bumper just felt super stiff. Reversing the steps was just as easy and I'm happy to say my bumper feels even better than when I first bought my second hand deck! Props to Lastability for the help and the idea and to iFixIt for their detailed written tear-apart guides. I love this community!

I ended up replacing the entire right bumper button on my SD about a year ago using my hot air station (you can use buttons designed for the Nintendo DS, as they are the exact same) because the button itself was faulty. Ironically, it ended up being a lot clickier and easier to press with the new one, to the point I was dissatisfied with how the factory left bumper felt, lol. However, over time I noticed it got harder and harder to press and after re-opening it recently, I noticed that the button itself has no support at the back (there is a sort of insert with the little plastic brace held onto the board with the three screws, but the insert for the button doesn't reach all the way), and the reason it became harder to press is because the button housing bent back slightly. Its held in with just the two solder anchors on its sides, so the metal at the back just bends. I 3D Printed a simple square to fill the gap between the button and the plastic and that seems to have helped. However, at this point I don't feel like replacing the button again because it now double-presses frequently, and I don't want to wait two months to receive replacement buttons from China again. I cant seem to find just the board to swap out. Anyone know of any reliable and trustworthy vendors that sell the entire right daughterboard?

Can you remake the video with better (closer) camera angle?

Meanwhile Nintendo is so busy in court they forgot to layoff anyone :D

XBOX Microsoft, for the love of God STOP BUYING STUDIOS JUST TO CLOSE THEM

Great deep-dive! I hate the current state of the industry but hoping there is some light in the future

Awesome video 👏🏼 keep up the good work, is sad to see the game industry crumbling like this, especially for developers and gamers, who are the real ones that loves games

Investors with no passion in gaming or understanding of how games work are hoping to make to make a quick buck and only care about money

This kinda worked for me. It does click now, but the bumper still doesn't register unless I press it harder than usual. It's better than before though, thanks.

What are these dogshit videos that don't know how to film shit. This is the 4th useless ass video I've gone to and EVERY SINGLE ONE TAKES OFF THE TRIGGERS OFF CAMERA is kind of dumb fucking joke?? It's comedic how much I'm struggling to find the most basic ass step available jesus fucking christ

Thx man, now it is working

can’t believe i spent $600 on this device and it’s this garbage

Good guide but i wish it was not hella zoomed out and was centered on the deck

Bruhhhhh same

Great tutorial. I'm gonna RMA mine

This is super helpful, but PLEASE do not have the music volume go up when you are not talking. I don't want to hear it at all, and certainly not blasting like that just so I can hear what you are saying whenever you speak.

NO SPACES ALL CAPS

Thank you very much Who would have though that a simple paper clip will fix my steam deck. In my case i used a staple wire no filing needed. I avoided costly repair.

metal conduct electricity.. thus this solution damage the board in the long run?

Will OLED right r1 work on LCD model

Just want to thank you for this tutorial. I was having the exact same issue down to a t and your video was exactly what I needed.. Heck I even have the same exact deck model and event he same keyboard so felt like you were doing the repair on my very own unit at my house watching this.

Same thing happened to my deck and i permanently fixed it myself, it slowly pushes down with each click, you can open it, and slowly carefully push it back up with a dabstick and then you can even shove something under the switch with a pinch of glue and permanently fix it. I did this.. and i have not had to fix it again or have any issue.

Came back to say this helped me fix my issue a year back, I ended up wedging a piece of paper between the button and bumper after disassembly. Unfortunately a year on the buttons just started to become less responsive again and now im scared to take apart the steam deck and attempt another fix 😅

Fix your camera in middle i don't see probably

Why is half of the repair recording a keyboard that isn’t being used?

Thanks a lot!

Same thing happened to my Steam Deck.

When bumper buttons stop working, is it caused by a piece of that black button breaking off? My r1 started not working occasionally and after about an hour of pressing/testing it, it stopped working completely. It's also much more "squishier" I'd guess I'd say, compared to the other side. I'm wondering if a piece could have cracked and then broken off and this fails to make contact with whatever it's supposed to press. Would that be a typical problem with this piece? Kinda long-winded, sorry.

In my case, my right bumper also softened up as well, but I have a few questions: 1. Why do I need to remove the battery at all when I was able to just remove the joysticks as is before without needing to remove battery compared to my bumpers now? 2. To get things right, what exactly do I need to fix the bumpers first for tools? It seems tricky to do. 3. Can’t Valve or other companies just makes much more durable buttons? It seems pointless to have handheld device only for it to need maintenance every couple of months or so, which is a hazard if you’re new to repairs like I am.

I put a pice of paper and white glue between the blue button and the blastic of the L1 and IT WORKED!

Good tutorial poorly filmed

I absolutely recommend this game, no doubts, pick it up and play it right now

I absolutely recommend this game - so many hours playing it ♥

I’m not sure what tools I need to do it myself. Would appreciate it if you could share that.

I got my 1tb oled and omg i may never leave my bed again

Howdy! Alternative solution here. I took the plastic bumper out (real slowly and carefully) after only having unplugged the power and removing the trigger. I filed down the two tabs to the immediate sides of the plastic bit that interacts with the actual button (at 7:48 in vid) and put the tiniest dap of epoxy on the cross itself. Did a tiny bit of trial and error and sanded the epoxy till it was perfect. Maybe not better than paper clip but felt a lil less jank. Thanks for the video!

where so u put the addres??

Ive been thinking of buying the OLED version myself.

Good job. This is exactly what i wanted to see. 99% of the reviewers out there only show the 10 first minutes of games that are super resource intensive, which does not reflect the general performances we'll have to deal with when we're 30 hours in. So again, great job. Thank you.

Not in Australia 😡🤬!!!

Just wanted to say thank you so much! I had a non-responsive right bumper after having my steam deck for about a year (probably from playing so many games where you mash R1), and I followed your guide and fixed the issue almost entirely! I had to watch the follow QA video to know how to position the metal staple I was using instead, but everything went well after a few hours of disassembly and reassembly. Awesome vid :)

thx bro, but angle for the video is the worst
