Incidentally, the repairability of a console is an important element to consider, and the Steam deck seems easy to repair. All this according to the famous iFixit website
I attach it This is a kind of website that specializes in dissecting, hacking and repairing high tech products, has just announced that the Steam Deck is the easiest modern console to repair on the market. So much so that it just got a 7/10 in repairability.
A list of components for sale
The site has even compiled a list of the various Steam Deck components, most of which are available for sale right on the site. Some components were even accidentally on sale before the official launch:
We have published some pages related to the upcoming release of our parts with Valve. They went live earlier than expected and we ended up shutting them down. If you have placed an order for parts, we will fulfill it. ?
Stay tuned for the real start soon!
The battery missing from the Steam deck components
The main problem is that the Steam Deck Battery is not included in the list of components that are for sale on the site. Aware of the problem, said Kyles Wiens, the CEO of iFixit The edge that at the moment there was no solution to repair the battery.
Also note that Reddit users have noticed that the iFixit site offers a page dedicated to the Steam Deck’s battery but also… its SSD! Hopefully a good sign for the future.
