The highs (and lows) of taking apart my Steam Deck:
I don’t really know what my issue is with them, or what their issue is with me, but ribbon cables give me anxiety.To get to the buttons, I’d need to disconnect several ribbon cables, remove two circuit boards, the trigger, and the bumper. Also, every YouTube channel told me to remove the shield, disconnect the battery, and probably wear a grounding bracelet. I decided not to do those last three because I didn’t want to.
That all went surprisingly well. But the L2/R2 trigger assembly was tricky. You need to pry it off its plastic hinges with a certain amount of force that will lead your brain to warn you:I stuck some electronics tweezers in there and pulled. This is what’s known as a brilliant fucking idea™.The tweezers slipped out and tore a scratch across the thumbstick module, nicking a solder joint. But I have a soldering iron; I could fix that. Also,. And was I gonna stop there? No.
I got through everything else and finally excavated the buttons under the bumper mechanism and, yup, there on the B button was some…gunk? Crap? Stuff? A bit of alcohol did away with it and I started reassembly.Reassembling the trigger sucks, by the way. I ended up resorting to clipping off a stick of abalone guitar binding material to push the spring in correctly. I only dropped the spring once, which took mere moments to find with my phone’s flashlight.
