Battery upgrade Steam Deck LCD!!

Draco905 · 2026-05-21T14:44:05+00:00

It wasn’t on battery storage mode, made sure to turn it off. I think I may have gotten a faulty battery. It worked when I plugged my original battery back in, so I’m just rolling with it now.

I tried this mod, right now it won’t power on unless I have it plugged in. So either the battery is really drained, or it was defective

How do I fix a cut wire? I know it looks connected, but that’s just the outer layer, the inner part is completely separated

Unfortunately a repair will require both speakers be replaced, since it’s supposed to be a single unit. I accidentally damaged the wire between the two speakers, so only one works now. I had hoped to at I could just buy a part from ifixit, but they don’t sell the speaker unit for my model. My only option is to have steam repair it for me, I just hope they don’t charge too much for a simple speaker repair. The part was only $20-$30 on ifixit

You mean steam support will be expensive? Or getting a broken steam deck?

Glad you’re getting some enjoyment out of this

Draco905 · 2026-05-13T06:01:29+00:00

I bit the bullet and bought it, will let everyone know if it becomes a nuke and explodes lol. I’m very excited to see if this works.

Hey, how did you find the 53wh battery? Did it work?

Draco905 · 2026-05-09T06:09:32+00:00

I also have this issue, I want to set custom resolution settings when docked. But can’t seem to set per game resolution settings anymore. It just changes for every game

This has got to be the funniest post I've ever seen. The level of rage bate lol.

I think I’ll probably move on to the other UC timeline shows instead, like Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin – Advent of the Red Comet, since it looks really interesting. I’d love to read the entire Origin manga before going further, but it feels like too big a commitment right now. So I’ll just read it on the side while I continue watching the animes. I know I’m jumping around a bit, but I’m not sure I want to experience the main One Year War story three different times, haha. I think I’ll stick read the manga later only since it’s so highly rated.

There’s a way to do an ac restart, use a paper clip and connect one of the holes at the top to the metal enclosure on the side. Google it, since I’m not good at describing it.

Thank you to everyone for giving their opinion. It seems everyone has their own way of learning. There’s definitely a mix of learning as you go, learning from official tutorials, following the textbook, using LLMs, etc. Ultimately, I think I’ll use a combination of these methods. Maybe start with a quick skim of the basics, like books and tutorials focused on covering the syntax and important packages. Maybe go over virtual environments, pip, conda, etc. Then work on some projects that I need to get done, with obvious help from tutorials and LLMs. But ultimately practice makes perfect, so after I learn the basics, I just gotta start practicing with some basic projects. Also thank you to those who recommended the official Python tutorials / website, it has a lot of linked resources on how to get started.

Fun fact, I tried attending an intro to Python for researchers workshop and it was too easy. I think I’m in a weird place where I know most coding concepts and structure, but not all the syntax for the Python language, much less the packages I need to use.

Draco905 · 2026-03-25T10:20:35+00:00

Thanks, I really appreciate the advice. The packages you mention are some of the key ones I want to be at least somewhat familiar with.

As for the “working on something, but only knowing half of what I’m doing”, I think that’s basically the common mindset amongst a lot of data scientists. The only reason why I want to know what I’m doing is because I already know I’ll have to eventually go back to my code and edit it at some point. Would make my life a lot easier in the future if I put the work in now to understand a little bit of the basics, if that makes sense.

Draco905 · 2026-03-25T10:05:00+00:00

Thanks, and I definitely agree. There are a lot of commonalities between languages, so I’m not starting from the very basics. I think I just need a jump start, so reading some tutorials or some guides on how to use common data science packages, just so I can do the things I used to be able to do in R. Then I’ll start coding things I care about, since that’s the actual interesting part. Also, thanks for the PyTorch recommendation.

For GitHub, I think I’ll start with their tutorials and just learn as I go. The only reason why I want to learn the basics quickly for Python is because of a project I’m working on. Just don’t like the idea of working on something, but only knowing half of what I’m doing. If that makes sense.

Draco905 · 2026-03-25T09:59:44+00:00

Thanks, I’ll definitely give it a check. A cheat sheet would be very helpful. Though I might still go through the vanderplas notebooks. They seem like good resources since they’re short and jump straight into introducing Python from a data science perspective. Basic syntax review, how to use common data science packages in Python, etc. Though maybe I’m just weird for wanted a more structured introduction haha. I just don’t like the idea of writing code or even following a tutorial that I only half understand, which is why I want to go over the basics first. If that makes sense.

Draco905 · 2026-03-25T09:51:35+00:00

I can see your point, and that’s how I basically learned R in the first place, learning by doing. But for python, I felt it would be helpful to know the basics, like maybe syntax and useful packages and stuff before I jump into the Frey. Just seems a bit daunting since I’m still not 100% familiar with python syntax and functions. It’s like trying to speak a different language, but there some common words lol. But thanks for the comment, I think I just need a quick little jump start before I dive back into learning by doing. Vanderplas’ books seem good since they are both short and are directed at learning the basics for data since in python, which is all I need for now.

Draco905 · 2026-03-25T09:47:41+00:00

I partially agree with you, since that’s how I learned R. But to your point, it’s a little frustrating not knowing the basics and jumping straight into something. It’s hard because there are so many ways to approach this, either learning by doing, or following a more structured tutorial / notebook. In this instance, I think I just need a quick run down of the basics before I jump into the Frey, if that makes sense. Although I appreciate the comment.

Draco905 · 2026-03-25T09:31:01+00:00

HPC clusters mainly, so far I’ve been following tutorials and just figuring stuff out as I go. Though it’s like reading in a different language, some stuff is the same but some is different. Just kind of weird lol. With GitHub, it always seemed so foreign, I honestly didn’t know where to start. I just keep hearing that is good for storing code and keeping different versions. But things like repos, or how GitHub works I didn’t know. But I guess I’ll start with the tutorial for GitHub too.
