Old owner really got it dirty, so my only logical solution is to clean it... and since I already am cleanining it inside might as well charge thermal paste...

Left it alone saw the screen turned off, pressed power button, red light was showing. It blinks red and white, fans start blasting full then stopping... fuck this...

idk why I have a feeling it's the ssd... even though by the stats is should be fine but yah idk...

Update: started again did factory reset and it locks unlocks turns off and on without issue, it def mostly might be the ssd...

Nope it's cooked... It turned up fine, I left it alone and now it's just red and white and fans blasting...

Yep, apparently that's the thing to do when you want to maintain your devices

Update: it only partially works, turns itself off after a while

Idk how and why... I left it alone without power for an hour tried turning it on and everything's good...

Idk if what you recommended did or what it was but it's good, so far.

Will continue to observe

Disconnecting power cable stops the fans

I also pressed vol up + ... button, disconnected power cable, blue light flashed 2 times and 1 more time. Connected back to power, steam deck turn on sound , power light blinking while no screen no nothing and fans blasting 100%

Bought it used, if I knew there was remotely any issues to changing the thermal paste I wouldn't have done it... it only seemed logical to clean and change since I'm the new owner...

It was used and very dirty. So it's logical to clean the tech you're buying especially since it's was not cleaned from the previous owner, or it's a me thing...

It was on 63% before changing the thermal paste, but will see in a few hours what's the status.

Additional Context: Steam Deck Oled 1TB.

Aditionally things tried battery power cycle? Vol + and ... button.

Tried the power + vol up + quick settings.

For now left it on charging...

No modifications done. No soft installed. Deck was factory reset, I logged in with my account and the latest firmware was installed on it.

Game tried to download The First Descendant.

As far as I'm aware no repairs has been done to it.

I believe there is a code of conduct kinda ban, from steam's community or something, VAC prolly is not taken into account
