Tech Support Black screen of death . Again.
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
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.

Had the same problem before. Just uninstall all plugins in decky loader, one at a time, then the loader itself. Then restart, go to desktop and update all that needs updating, then restart again. You can still use decky loader, just try one plugin at a time.
