If something\u2019s broken with your Steam Deck and you don\u2019t want to try to fix it yourself, Valve now has a new option for you: you can send your handheld gaming PC to one of the company\u2019s new repair centers to get it fixed. <\/p>\n

Repairs for anything that\u2019s covered by the Steam Deck\u2019s warranty (which is one year in the US<\/a>) will be free, Valve says<\/a>. If your device is out of warranty, the company will offer to fix it up for a cost. If you don\u2019t want to pay that fee, you can decline the repair and ask to have your Steam Deck sent back.<\/p>\n

This out of warranty paid repair service is completely optional, and if you want to repair your Deck yourself (via @iFixit<\/a> parts and guides, for instance), that’s up to you! More details here: https:\/\/t.co\/e0q4ytqQ9V<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, if you think you can fix your Steam Deck on your own, Valve is totally open to you doing that; the company has teamed up with iFixit to sell nearly every part of the Steam Deck<\/a> so you can get the parts you need to repair things yourself. (Check out how my colleague Sean Hollister fixed his noisy fan<\/a>.) But as Valve continues to ramp up its Steam Deck shipments<\/a>, for those of us who are a little nervous about the prospect of opening up their beloved Steam Deck (me), these new repair centers offer another way to get things fixed.<\/p>\n
