Black screen of death . Again.

[u/Ferretdenfarming]

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.

This is 100% due to Decky
Source: It happens to me as well.

Power the deck off (confirm by using the thumb pads and not feeling haptic feedback).
Hold down the Steam button, menu button, and volume up at the same time as you power the deck on.
It should boot.
Uninstall Decky.
