iFixit plans to start offering Steam Deck replacement parts this summer, iFixit\u2019s Kevin Purdy tells The Verge<\/em>. Valve first announced in February<\/a> that the repair experts at iFixit would be one of the authorized sellers of replacement parts but did not give a specific timeline as to when they would be available. The vast majority of consoles aren\u2019t easily user repairable, so making official Steam Deck replacement parts available, even if they aren\u2019t out just yet, is a good thing for consumers. And hopefully, it will push other hardware makers to do the same in the future. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve asked iFixit if it can share information about which parts you\u2019ll be able to get and how much they\u2019ll cost. In Valve\u2019s official Steam Deck teardown video from October<\/a>, the company said \u201cthumbsticks, SSDs, and possibly more\u201d would be available, so it\u2019s possible those will be listed at iFixit.<\/p>\n
