Couple days ago I updated to the latest syatem software and all seemed fine. Have used the steam deck a little since then, but nothing intensive at all.

This evening it just won’t seem to turn on (at least not the screen). I’ve tried Google and Reddit searching, but nothing seems to work. Volume- plus power/elipses/any other button does nothing. Power + elipses etc, same. Nothing seems to actually get the screen back on or allow me to see in to a bios/restart menu at all.

I can however get it to power on in some fashion where the fans make noise and the track pads provide a feedback, so it’s got some power it seems.

I’m also able to get the thing to chime a beep when doing the power and options button at certain times, but again screen remains black with nothing else happening at all.

Amy other tips/advice?

    I tried letting the battery drain, I’ve tried booting from the original 64gb SSD.

    And nothing seems to work. Screen is still black with no back light.

    Both windows and steam is desktop mode cannot detect a second display.
