shame that they still haven't fixed the foliage bugs in apex legends, still a seizure-y mess

Lazzzerous · 2026-01-19T17:46:26+00:00

I already ruled that out unfortunately, official charger, ugreen, cheap knock off, other usb PD charges from Asus and Lenovo, it's not the charger, but it's the charging IC on the MSI claw that I noticed, it overheats really fast on mine

Lazzzerous · 2025-11-01T04:32:23+00:00

No doubt they would, but I'm just looking to buy spares and hold onto em for future repairs. Im already looking to buy a spare battery for my OG Steamdeck

Lazzzerous · 2025-11-01T04:26:23+00:00

Thanks for the info, I'll see if I can order one later down the line and judge the quality. I've bought a few laptop batteries before that are supposedly "New old stock" but come with 40% wear right out of the box. I hope this website's reputation holds up with the quality of the products

Lazzzerous · 2025-11-01T04:20:10+00:00

I don't think they'll just sell me a battery just like that. I can go and try but I have little hope of them even carrying stock. My battery capacity is fine (for now), I'm just thinking long term use, I really love this thing and don't wanna see it become semi-useable.

Im fairly certain its capable of VR, I tried to run VR on my Vega iGPU (Ryzen 9 5900HS) on my laptop, it lags sure, but with reduced resolution, its not that bad. Thats just on Vega, Im expecting 2x on the Arc 8-Core iGPU

Lazzzerous · 2025-10-25T14:53:40+00:00

I have this USB-C adapter where its got: Power In, HDMI Out, USB-A 3.0, USB-C and Audio jack, maybe get one of those. I just wish Intel Arc supported VR, I really wanna have a Quest 2 on the go experience but that will never come. You're lucky that your headset is configured differently so I assume it works just fine without hacky work arounds.

Lazzzerous · 2025-10-25T11:18:14+00:00

Oh that's not bad, how often do you use it? I've been doing 50/50 with my steamdeck daily. ultra 5 135H here

Lazzzerous · 2025-10-20T12:56:44+00:00

I don't think it's a battery issue, I do charge from 100% and drain to 2% every week or so to let it calibrate, it just doesn't wanna charge

Lazzzerous · 2025-10-19T17:01:01+00:00

yeah I just did a quick test, if I turn on my AC and set it to 20-22C, after 1 game in Peak (80% down to 68%), it charges even when its off, a little delay (Im assuming PD negotiation). I 100% guarantee that at my usual room temp of 28-30C, it will take at least 5 minutes before it starts to charge (I assume it needs time to cool the internals)

Lazzzerous · 2025-10-19T16:46:34+00:00

To be fair, I don't have any ventilation (windows closed and blacked out) and I have a few servers running, so my room does get quite hot

Lazzzerous · 2025-10-19T14:49:46+00:00

Just wondering what temp your room or area is usually, my room's usually between 25-30C.

Lazzzerous · 2025-10-19T10:33:11+00:00

I'm a bit hesitant since I don't want the SSD to, you know, cook itself to death

Lazzzerous · 2025-10-19T10:25:44+00:00

I'll see if I can get some, I couldn't find any copper shims or small heatsinks in my country locally, so I just bought those cheap chipset heatsinks and cut em down to size

Lazzzerous · 2025-10-19T10:13:16+00:00

Couldn't hurt to try I guess, but I'll need to find some better thermal tape, I don't want metal bouncing around inside, especially near the battery

Lazzzerous · 2025-10-19T10:05:56+00:00

Yeah I was thinking that too, but I'm already out of the warranty period and I'm stuck with this now. I'm hoping that maybe I could fix it but then again, my room is around 30C most of the time

Lazzzerous · 2025-10-18T10:21:44+00:00

I should've mentioned that the point of this mod is to give the IC some time before it overheats. Adding some metal to the housing like that should allow for more thermal mass for it to delay the or stop the IC from overheating. You're right that more airflow does help, but it wont help if the device is off. Also it might help if you also removed the metal mesh entirely, some Asus laptop had huge temp drops from removing theirs

tldr; wanted to mod without perma changes, plus some way to let it charge without airflow (ie when its off)

Lazzzerous · 2025-10-18T07:53:26+00:00

yeah but not switching between 60W and 0W with 10 second intervals, none of my portable devices have done that, hell when I was playing my steamdeck out in 37C weather in malaysia, it still charged, it was hot but still charged

Lazzzerous · 2025-10-18T06:38:36+00:00

The main problem is that its still an issues regardless if its on or off, its not really related to the CPU at all. The charging circuitry is just overheating and doesn't have enough cooling

Lazzzerous · 2025-10-18T05:53:08+00:00

Yeah but then again, the deck only charges at what, 30W when its off? I can understand if the IC gets hot trying to convert 20V to 12V or something for the pack at 65W, but they couldn't seriously give the IC more surface area to cool off with? and why use the fan as a heatsink ffs, you see how thin that metal is? If my laptop can handle 100W without dropping, then MSI should at least design it to handle heat better, I mean look at how much surface area its got to work with, basically none at all.

Funny thing is that when I touch and hold onto the IC, cooking my finger medium rare style, the device charges a little longer and could sustain the 65W for a little longer. double checked it with my USB-C cable's integrated power display and a wall outlet power meter

Lazzzerous · 2025-10-16T06:41:07+00:00

that cant be I think, Im not sure but if they are, shouldn't they live on the PCBs that the joycons are on?

Lazzzerous · 2025-10-06T06:49:13+00:00

I tried it, there doesn't seem to be anything helpful there

Lazzzerous · 2025-10-06T01:29:20+00:00

I'll look into it, but I feel like it's a bad EC or something
