So, as stated, I got my steam deck today…

Everything was going fine until after the update, it was low on battery but I had it on charge, then it rebooted to the steam deck logo, and stayed there for like 20-40 mins, then turned off… and tried to reboot, stuck again… and now the logo just flashes when I try and turn it on.

There some responses from it as it makes a sound when I try and do the volume and power button boot, or just a clean boot. And when it was stuck the touch pad were haptic… and the LED for the charger port has a light.

I just don’t know what to do… it was second hand, so I don’t think I’ll get much help from steam themselves… and I can’t afford a another one…

    Reimage that thang bro your gonna need a hub port or usb to steam cable so you can connect it. For instance i reimaged mine via hub cable with a mini sd card. Also , did you try to boot into the bios and safe start it ? See if you can get past the loop. I’d say try to not update as much or soon as it drops. Personally found sometimes updating steam deck can bring on its issues if it’s a NEW update like for instance games or emulation will stop working etc … just a heads up to keep in mind before updating in the future just make sure you double do research on it make sure the update is running smoothly before doing so 💯🙌🏽
