If you've picked up your Steam Deck recently and the touchscreen just randomly stopped working, there is a *super* quick fix! Instead of factory resetting and wondering if you accidentally dropped the damn thing, do this:
|
||
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Turn your Steam Deck off. Actually off from the Steam menu, not just suspended by tapping the power button.
|
||
|
|
1. Unplug the Deck if it's plugged in.
|
||
|
|
1. Hold the volume up button while you tap the power button. Keep holding the volume up button until you hear the chime.
|
||
|
|
1. Use the D-Pad to select "Setup Utility" and press A.
|
||
|
|
1. Navigate to the Power menu.
|
||
|
|
1. Choose Battery storage mode, and confirm.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your Deck will power off and the power LED will blink three times to confirm battery storage mode.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Plug back into the power supply, and turn it back on normally. This will automatically disable battery storage mode.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After this, my touchscreen worked perfectly again.
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
Hope this helps someone!
