[Help] Failing power button
My launch LCD Steam Deck is unfortunately now afflicted with a power button issue. It amounts to the power button being unresponsive ~9 times out of 10 (and getting worse). It has been reported on, but has no definitive fix as far as I can tell. My fixes attempt so far have been: - Squirt isopropyl alcohol (also contact cleaner later on) from the outside (suggested in [https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/vlv3px/psa_how_i_fixed_my_steam_decks_unresponsive_power/ [https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/vlv3px/psa_how_i_fixed_my_steam_decks_unresponsive_power/]]) : no perceptible change. - Open up the casing and try pushing the board back into a better position (as a proposed fix in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=123jykFjF50 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=123jykFjF50]]) : felt like an improvement, but did not stick for very long. - Mostly I have been working around the issue by using the wake on Bluetooth feature from the SteamOS preview channel and using a Switch Pro controller (because it’s not BLE) or a headset. This has been pretty reliable but for obvious reasons this is not ideal (and also will not work after a shutdown). This is an in-depth analysis of the problem : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAZtSyyx-ww [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAZtSyyx-ww]] Did someone try a lasting fix for the issue without soldering ? Maybe putting a piece of plastic or electrical tape between the button and the switch helps (like in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhwThw6Ke-U [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhwThw6Ke-U]]) ?

Took the plunge after 2 years, and replaced the Delta fan with a Huaying one
Now that my Steam Deck LCD has been relieved of his duties as a daily driver desktop PC, I finally went ahead and replaced the Delta fan with a Huaying one. It turned out to be relatively easy to do ; and lo and behold, it is indeed quieter. Recent adopters may or may not know there was a medium-sized kerfuffle about disparities in noise profiles of early Steam Deck units. It was proved and narrowed down to a difference between 2 fan models (see Gamers Nexus detailed analysis [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2EEtzhsr2s&t=960s]). Obviously the one I got was a “bad” one, emitting a high pitched noise when running at full speed. I did not find it unbearable but it was still not ideal, particularly when using the SD in quiet environments. Took me 2 years to get to the point where I figured it was an acceptable risk to attempt the replacement. How many of you did the same and kicked the Delta out of your unit ?
Pour les nostalgiques de Nolife, un nouveau 101% surprise !
Mars Express, à voir maintenant en streaming
“Mars Express” est un film d’animation français de science-fiction sorti en 2023. C’est le premier du genre depuis “Kaena, la prophétie” (2001) selon son réalisateur, Jérémie Périn. J’étais passé à côté lors de sa sortie en salle en fin d’année dernière, en raison d’une flemme caractérisée d’aller crapahuter au cinéma. Le film est maintenant disponible en streaming [https://www.justwatch.com/fr/film/mars-express] et j’ai pu rattraper le coup. Sans aller crier au chef d’œuvre, j’ai vraiment apprécié ce film et je le recommande vivement à tous les amateurs de SF. Et puis, “c’est français, c’est la police française.”
