I am having issues with my Steam Deck.

After I boot up the screen shows the STeam Deck animated logo, with a loading sign at the bottom. Then after that, the screen turns black - the fan is still on, and there is haptic feedback on the 2 touchpads so I know its on.

Here are the things I tried without success:

  • I have tried to fully drain the battery. (Left it on for a night)

  • Hold Power button 3 sec

  • Hold Power button 10-12 seconds

The only thing that works is if I plug my HMDI cable to the monitor on a new Boot up, and the screen does show up.

What can I do to fix this? In the past, a simple restart solved the issue. But now My steam deck is literaly unusable because the Black screen appears every time I turn it on, unless I plug it to the monitor, which deafeats the purpose of the Steam Deck.
