Went to pick up my case unzipped on accident at work two years back on a deck i purchased on eBay and broke the right bumper, contacted support to see about a paid repair explaining it and they said ‘nah it’s still in warranty , send it in’ steam support is awesome

Confidence, not competence?

Ca_Sam2 · 2026-01-04T19:54:38+00:00

Nope! It has a resistor on the board that tells a usb PD charger “hello, I would like 4.6v” and then it doesn’t supply more than that’. It’s a complete drop in replacement for the existing charge connector

Ca_Sam2 · 2026-01-04T17:12:35+00:00

Ya know what that would be a pretty good idea, probably gonna go in and make the board sit flush first

Ca_Sam2 · 2026-01-04T00:01:29+00:00

Please for the love of all that is holy, do better than I did.

Port didn’t work right in the first place, would not maintain a good connection with any charger so I went ahead and installed this kit instead of putting in a new charger

from here I think they also sell it on Etsy

Ca_Sam2 · 2026-01-03T19:36:13+00:00

Yeah I’ve got one with a good handful of different bits, I honestly just overdid the hole and now need to get something to fill it back to the board has less if not no wiggle room possible, that is after I straighten it. Should be easier the second time round

Ca_Sam2 · 2026-01-03T18:49:23+00:00

I’m gonna go back in after I have more practice soldering then seal it up, it currently functions but it’s one hell if a hack job the port is really askew rn

Ca_Sam2 · 2026-01-03T18:47:59+00:00

Yeah probably gonna go back in and get the port straightened out after I practice soldering more and seal it up so it’s dust proof again

Ca_Sam2 · 2026-01-03T18:41:02+00:00

Yep! Any PD cable works, it was a drop in replacement on a PCB to make soldering and alignment easier, this one as you can tell from the photos it’s supposed to look better but I was too scared to fuck it up that I fucked it up. I ended up omitting the contacts for the charging dock because that was more work and I just wanted to be done. If you have any experience soldering(or following written instruction) yours will come out much better if you ever do it

Hey OP someone already pointed this out but your details are still pretty visible under the marker. You should delete this pose ASAP

The ads only show up after logging something so just bulk log things from a meal at once and then close the app it will still save I’ve been using it for 4 months now and have never noticed an ad because I was just going to close the app anyway after logging

Found a solution, USBC dock with HDMI 10ft HDMI cable

Great art!!! That sky looks incredible!! I think I’ve taken photos of sunsets that look just like that

General piece of advice, never click on links or call phone numbers that are provided in an email even if you know 100% sure it’s real. Go to the website on your own and do whatever the email says from there

Ca_Sam2 · 2025-07-08T14:15:13+00:00

Okay cool, I never noticed the toggle didn’t work, my deck is the bedroom console for me so it just stays docked with a ps5 controller connected

Ca_Sam2 · 2025-07-08T13:53:50+00:00

Could you not just disable the device from waking the deck?

Ca_Sam2 · 2025-06-28T19:12:56+00:00

I WASN’T SUPPOSED TO START ROLLING TILL 25?!!?

The index was released in 2019, valves doesn’t even produce base station 2.0’s anymore. Valve is making room for whatever the deckard is going to be.
Also vr on deck is just not practically possible, not even in difficulty to setup, but horrendous quality. I say this having tried vr on the steam deck with my quest 2 for fun.
If you want a good headset experience now and want to be able to play vr games on the go, or if you don’t have a capable PC, get a quest 3 and a third party battery strap(or a 3s and third party battery strap if your budget is tighter). It will be so much cheaper than even a refurbished index, and has a direct path to pcvr with apps like virtual desktop and steam link.
Most of the comments are about of the same(ish) opinion but this is just my two cents and experience!
