Steam Deck repair centres are now open.
Valve says that should you “encounter an issue” with its new handheld system, you can send your Steam Deck for repair or replacement via one of its repair centres, where the team will “diagnose the device, repair if needed, then ship the fixed unit back to you”.
Whilst in-warranty repairs will be carried out free of charge, Valve does remind players that “if your dog gnaws on your thumbstick and breaks it, this is not covered by warranty”, although repair centres will repair accidental damage “for a fee”. Otherwise, Steam Deck owners are invited to “fix things yourself” with repair kits, replacement parts, and guides all available at iFixit.
