Holy hell, three Decks? How did they get bricked? I've had mine since the second shipment batch and beyond some very early software issues it's been pretty solid.
Yeah, the first one was DOA, the second (in the most amazing of ironies) started downloading an update by itself, which dropped my game down to 10fps. When I restarted the deck and the update applied, it corrupted everything so badly that even the BIOS wasn't left intact. Nothing I did or valve support could do could bring it back, even with reflashing the OS. And while I might be a moron, I've also been building/watercooling PCs and tinkering with OSs for well over a decade. That deck was bone stock and on stable channel xD
I'm on my third one now, and so far it's been smooth sailing...mostly. I still haven't put a screen protector on it, because I think that jinxed my last two, lmao. Thank God everything is backed up.
You are one unlocky SOB. The worst I have had is SteamOS breaking itself on me once.
I am, but I kinda bring it upon myself by getting niche equipment that usually is far outside the norm or not ready for prime time. It's whatever, haha.
I got my Steam Deck 3 months after they first started shipping and mine didn't brick itself until earlier this year soooo
Hey I had an old Samsung I bricked and unbricked at least four times once
