Hey all, my new steam deck oled came in a few days ago and i got pretty bummed out when i opened it: The bumper was making a springing noise when touched, even louder when pressed; Trigger was feeling mushy near bottoming out; Trackpad was making clicking noises. Luckily, all of these issues occurred on the left side of the deck resulting in less work for me.

I will give you a fix for each issue if anyone experiences anything similar.

Springy noise from bumper:

Open up the deck and adjust the spring on the bumper. Ive had to take mine out with some tweezers and carefully put it back in. After that, the noise was gone, its that easy.

Mushy trigger:

The trigger was hitting the shell when it was near bottoming out. Grabbed a file and took off a bit of material where the trigger rubbed. Had to redo at a couple different spots but it was fixed in the end. Trigger also made some spring noises, so i took the chance to spin the spring around until the noise was gone.

Finally, the clicking trackpad:

Had to take out the multiple daughter boards to gain access to the trackpad. Be mindful that the ribbon cables have little clamps on them that need to be opened. I took the track pad out and retightened the screws with less torque. Reassembled and tested, and its now working as intended.

I was pretty annoyed initially, but enjoyed tinkering with it in the end. The unit is now functioning flawlessly. Hope this helps anyone having similar problems, but be very careful and take your time with it.
