There is a tutorial for upgrade steam deck OLED ssd? i want swap my current ssd 2tb installed in my deck lcd into the new deck oled.
Retro Games Corp has a review video out and at 21 mins, you can watch him swap out the SD card on the OLED.
The data I’ve seen is that there is now a ribbon cable that must be disconnected and the ribbon is adhesively stuck to the shield. So you’ll have to disconnect the ribbon, gently remove the ribbon from the shield, remove the shield - then replace the SSD; reverse it to put it back together.
You can work around the shield without removing it from the ribbon.
Similar to the LCD. The drive is in a slightly different location and it now requires a Torx screw driver to remove the back.
Doesn’t it require a ribbon cable evolution too, now?
I haven’t seen a picture with just the back off (no disassembly) so it’s hard to say. It does appear one ribbon goes over the motherboard now instead of under, but it is difficult to be sure without everything else in place.
Even if so, the shield should just slide out from it without disturbing. Hopefully it still goes under the MB like the LCD model and the images are just deceiving with everything removed.
I hear the ribbon is held down with adhesive to the shield … so you probably have to disconnect the ribbon.
Again, we’ll know for sure soon enough - I’m trying to consume as much info as I can from every source possible.
Valve sent OLEDs to everyone on YT except me … apparently :D
