Hello,
Started up my deck today and when I plugged it in it wouldn’t charge. Changed the power socket, tried charging it through the monitor I have, but nothing.
I read online to hold the - volume button, the … button and the power button all together. The charging LED flashed three times but that was it.
Now I can’t turn on the deck, charging still doesn’t work and I really have no idea on what to do.
The battery was at 75%, I limit it so it doesn’t charge over 80%. I don’t leave it plugged in. I’ve been using a portable monitor with it lately that plugs into the USB-C but I haven’t run into any issues with it and it was working fine last night.
Can someone please help?
EDIT: it’s just turned on by itself randomly, still won’t charge though.


not sure on that button combination?
recovery boot is volume down + power, 1-2secs itll make a quiet beep. let go of power, should boot to recovery
That button combo is supposed to reset UEFI settings, and possibly APU/Power Logic. I’ve heard of valve support recommending it before, and it’s reference on the Steam Deck Arch Wiki page.
It was from a Reddit thread 2 years ago. It was what they were told to do by Valve
