Slow news day? Of course. But look, today is Thanksgiving. People are now likely cooking and eating whatever they can get their hands on. Please, if he can save just one person trying to steam her deck, it’s worth it.
According to reports dexerto, one Redditor discovered that leaving Valve’s awesome handheld PC on a hot stove had the unintended consequence of causing it to heat up. Still with me? And since it’s made of plastic, it doesn’t like being hot.

If you look closely, the interior doesn’t seem to have been burned that much, but the real damage, apart from the obvious case, is on the two rear right bumpers. However, no one knows which small wire (I’m not a technician) melted in the process.
What was even better was that Mr. Coleman wasn’t shy about going to Steam Deck Support and asking if he could help. In an update he wrote: “Steam Deck support told me there was no help from them and that the repair would cost more than buying a new Steam Deck. I think I just got a new battery and backplate. Maybe even a new battery. Maybe not. Let’s see.”

Although I think it is true, Several There’s some small print somewhere telling you not to overheat your device, but I don’t think it specifically says “do not burn.”
