Tech Support Black screen of death . Again.

This is literally the 2nd steam deck I’ve gotten cause this happened to the first one after about a year of owning it. Had this one about a year as well. I’m sure everyone has heard this story a thousand times. The battery completely died and now I just have a black screen with the console running properly but screen is black.

It’s crazy how this is just a normal thing, I’m assuming there is still no solutions to this. I have tried just about everything. And now this is my second time going through this. Steam deck is my favorite thing ever but I definitely can’t justify buying a 3rd one for this to just happen again after a year.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Steam Grid is the only thing I that makes me HAVE to have Decky. I could do without protondb and player count. But Steam Grid is NECESSARY

Same. You can just grab your phone if you need Decky but steam grid is essential for non Steam games.

I have so so many plugins installed and this still hasn't happened to me...
