[QUOTE="Admin, post: 57088, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.ign.com/tech/steam-deck']Steam Deck[/URL] owners now have a new option if their device needs fixing. [URL='https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1675200/view/3398545888823804940']An official statement[/URL] from Valve confirms that its Steam Deck Repair Centers are now officially open, with Steam Deck owners able to send in their device to get a full diagnosis and a potential fix. “If you encounter an issue and need to send your Steam Deck for repair or replacement, devices will now go to one of our repair centers,” they confirmed. “Once there, our team will diagnose the device, repair if needed, then ship the fixed unit back to you.” According to Valve, repairs for issues covered by the Steam Deck’s warranty will be undertaken free of charge. But you might have to stump up for your repairs if it’s been accidentally broken. “If a Steam Deck comes in that is not covered by warranty, our team will reach out and offer to repair the device for a fee (if a repair is possible),” they explained. “This out-of-warranty repair service is completely optional, and you can ask for your device back if you prefer.” Valve goes on to explain that a console that develops an intermittent button issue, for example, would be covered by the warranty… whereas a Steam Deck ruined by your dog would require a fee to fix. However, they also offered some alternatives… Repair kits and guides for the Steam Deck are all available at [URL='https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Steam_Deck']iFixit[/URL] if you fancy repairing the Steam Deck yourself.
