    • Turn on your Steam Deck and allow the battery to discharge below 25% before starting your repairs, as a charged lithium-ion polymer battery can be dangerous if accidentally punctured.

    • As an extra precaution, Valve recommends putting your Steam Deck into battery storage mode within the BIOS before starting any internal repairs. Read how to do that here.

    • Power down your Steam Deck and unplug any cables.

I successfully swapped matte/glossy OLED model screens this way. First boot after swap had a frazzled screen. Hard reset fixed the problem instantly.

keyscameron - Réponse

Is this compatible with limited edition?

Joen Liwanag - Réponse

the steps are the same for both OLED models. However the LE comes stock with a matte screen, standard model with glossy screen

Is it possible to upgrade Steam Deck 512GB LCD model to better matte OLED screen?

As well as upgrade the WiFi card?
