Long story short, my current steam deck only works when output to hdmi aka docked. It started happening right after i swapped the original buttons for extremerate clear buttons. I’ve tried everything, nothing has solved it so Valve quoted my RMA for $180. But they specified that they wanted me to then remove the extremerate buttons and put in the original buttons. I’ve never taken apart a steam deck before this so it took WAY longer than the average person. Is it worth going through Valve RMA or just buying another deck for cheap and having someone install the extremerate buttons correctly? Does such a service exist online?

Thanks

    Dumb question: did you remember to plug the battery connector back in? Or maybe you damaged that connector? That would explain if it only works when connected to power
