Valve has already made it (relatively) easy for folks to repair broken Steam Deck hardware at home by partnering with iFixit. Prefer to leave things to the professionals? Now official Steam Deck repair centers are open. In-warranty repairs will be performed free of charge, but there’s also an option to pay for repairs that aren’t covered by warranty.
Valve open Steam Deck repair centers, where you can send a damaged device for free repairs for issues covered by warranty, or optionally for a fee for out-of-warranty repairs. Self-repair tools, guides, and parts are also available from @iFixit https://t.co/ZkfdrsC2sD
