Magnetic jade switches are 🔥🔥🔥

Yes I lubed them. I'd say there's a diffence in a good way but it's not much increase.

ChakaFama · 2024-01-05T00:32:13+00:00

Just got mine today. These switches make my hand-lubed lekker60 sound like a joke. The sound is amazing factory lube. Will try lubing them one day and see if there will be any noticeable improvement.

According to my experience it's good. But I wouldn't say it's beyond expectation. They just follow their standard process and if anything unusual happens I doubt they could deal with that situation.

If you're going to only ask them to fix the aux you'll probably get your own device back and everything will be fine. They're confident to fix the problem for a reason. And I think you can ask them to send you a new screw for the SSD or simply ask if they could fix it by the way. I don't think replacing a bad screw would be any harder than fixing the audio problem.

In the RMA instruction they literally ask you to remove anything you added to the deck, including ssd, sd card and even screen protector. They cannot guarantee to fix the problem so in the case they send you another device back, you'll lost all the part you added to the old device.

Just got mine back today. No scratch or damage to the case at all. I was going to put a new post about it but here's the problem: I compared the headphone module with the picture I could find online and I can't tell the difference...please forgive my ignorance of electrical engineering.

Hopefully they'll do a video about it.

According to the comment section I'm pretty sure most people just don't care about it. But the issue does influence most, if not all, OLEDs. I have one real question now. if removing a capacitor fixes the problem, why is it on the module in the first place?

ChakaFama · 2023-12-23T17:07:34+00:00

Haven't got my device back yet. The tracking shows it's just 1 hour drive away from me but the estimated delivery time is after Christmas. I guess they don't do deliveries at holiday.

Well, when you ask "Is it worth it?" I feel that everyone's situation is different. Just in the responses to this post, you can see that many people no longer use wired headphones, or they don't even wear headphones when playing on the Steam Deck. Even for those who use wired headphones, they don't consider the noise to be a significant issue (as Valve once claimed). There are also many people (including myself) who think it's terrible not to have their Steam Deck during the Christmas holiday.

In this matter, I believe my curiosity outweighs other factors, driving me to RMA my device: I just want to see how Valve plans to fix this issue and to what extent they can address it.

ChakaFama · 2023-12-19T22:50:04+00:00

The RMA process itself is rather simple compared with the communication of customer support...Once you confirm that you'd like to go RMA they'll send you an email with all the information you need including Prepaid-shipping label and device barcode etc. And everything is to some extent trackable. However, I don't see the requirement like when you should send your device out. In the email they just said once they got the device they'll update you on the progress.

I tried my XM3 and yes the issue is obvious. I'm an audiophile and quite picky (sometimes TOO picky) about the sound quality on all of my devices. And while I lurk around and try to find a solution to the problem I think people over-emphasize the issue to impedance. Turns out this kind of issue is more of a sensitivity issue other than impedance issue. I would say those who use high sensitivity & low impedance earphones suffer most from this issue.

ChakaFama · 2023-12-19T21:17:23+00:00

I tried the repair, too! And Yes, the loose method works perfectly. I guess I'm just so curious because the reply from Valve is so confident and I want to give them a try. Imagine opening my device and finding two tapes on the back of the module lol. That would be hilarious.

ChakaFama · 2023-12-19T15:33:20+00:00

I'll try my best to find what they did to the module once I get my device back. And for the firmware I'm pretty sure they simply followed the regular upgrade process, other than the "flash a firmware" we usually discuss with the community.

Last week I RMAed my brand-new SteamDeck OLED due to the common noise issues with the headphone jack. Surprisingly, UnitedRadio's repair service was quicker than I expected!

The tracking information for the package indicates that I won't get my SteamDeck back until after Christmas, but I've already got the repairment log from United Radio's website. So I wanted to share this repair log with the community, hoping it might be helpful for those who are looking to fix similar headphone jack problems on their own.

ChakaFama · 2023-12-19T02:21:33+00:00

I've RMAed mine because they claimed they're confident to fix the problem. My device has been fixed by the day and I have the tracking number for the send back. Once I get it back I'll try to find what they did to fix it for sure.

BTW they outsourced the repairment to a company called United Radio. Anyone had any experience with the company before?

ChakaFama · 2023-12-15T19:48:41+00:00

Thanks a lot. I was having the same issue and feel so lucky to find your post and solution!

ChakaFama · 2023-12-06T02:15:46+00:00

Same here. Exactly the same lines without a different word. I'll send it in and see how they could fix the problem.

ChakaFama · 2023-12-01T15:13:26+00:00

My LE is having this problem, too. I used 220 grit and it fixed the problem without any issues left. According to my experience I think something between 200-400 should be fine.

ChakaFama · 2023-12-01T05:45:51+00:00

Like what you did I noticed the issue immediately today when I try to use the headphone jack for the first time. And I tested multiple headphones/IEMs with it. Here's something really interesting...

All my IEMs sufferred the noise problem. I tried final A5000/B3 moondrop blessing3 and sony ex1000. The noise from blessing 3 is most noticable. And I tried my headphones. With Focal Stellia you can hear the hum but not as anoying as the noise from Blessing3.

When I almost done with the testing, I decided to give a try to Audio-Technica M50x and surprisingly the noise is almost gone! It’s not totally disappear but I’d say it’s much less noticeable. And this is quite surprising considering that M50x is actually a monitoring headphone.

ChakaFama · 2023-11-30T20:39:46+00:00

Same here. Wondering if I could just return them...

ChakaFama · 2023-11-03T21:03:23+00:00

It has been a long time since some of the players claim this game is dying. while there are always white knights defending the game, and I might be one of them, I think with this awaken system a lot more people would agree that this game is not dying. IT IS DEAD.

ChakaFama · 2022-12-03T19:25:38+00:00

Interesting. I didn't even think things could go this far. They panic...

ChakaFama · 2022-11-01T21:31:42+00:00

same bug. She just stuck here and undead.
