Not wanting to lose my modded New Vegas/Skyrim, emulators, non-Steam games, etc. I decided to swap internal SSDs, I know there was some questions about the possibility of it so I’m here to confirm you can do it.
LCD Deck was updated to SteamOS 3.5 Stable, OLED Deck not updated at all. Upon swapping SSDs the OLED Deck greeted me with a “you are one of the first OLED Deck owners and we need to update the console” message (must’ve known from the motherboard). Upon updating everything the OLED worked as it should. The LCD Deck black screened for awhile then started up without any audio, also needing an update. Once that was done it worked as normal and greeted me with the first time setup menu.

Echo’ing another comment in here, just did the same thing. Worked like a charm without any hassle, hardest thing was taking off the back plate and taking out the battery connector. Everything else was smooth sailing. I used a T6 Torx Screwdriver and a P1 Phillips Screwdriver
OP,
How hard was changing the SSD? Did you remove the heat shield or just unscrew it and lift it up a bit? I saw there were cables attached to it now and to be careful with that.
Do you get 90 FPS consistently on new vegas? Do you use performance modd etc
I just did the same
Hopefully I never have to open it up again! My other two LCD decks ended up with creaking and clicking in the shell from opening it so many times for thermal pad replacement etc
The OLED Deck shouldn’t creak since it uses threaded metal inserts whereas the LCD uses self tapping screws meaning it loses integrity everytime it’s taken apart.
that’s not how self tapping screws work, that only happens if they’re drilled in, not screwed by hand
