My Steamdeck OLED won't charge, no white light
Steamdeck OLED won't charge, the battery is 100% dead and when I try charging there is no white light indicating that the thing is charging,
Tried multiple chargers that all work on other devices but not the Steamdeck, tried different outlets, the official charger that came with the deck, at my house, at my office, nothing will charge the deck
Contacted Steam and it looks like I'll have to send it in but just wanted to see if I can fix it first

Some history might help here. What led up to it not charging? Did you notice it wasn't charging while it was still powered on?
I would also have a good look at the charge port. See if anything looks amiss. Use a flashlight because it will probably be hard to see otherwise.

Not sure but I wasn’t using it for a month, I brought it to my office yesterday and tried charging it in the same ports I always charged it in and wouldn’t charge

@bkmmtip5zwbx6gh Sounds like the battery might have kicked the bucket while you weren't using it. A month isn't that long, but lithium ion batteries just don't like being discharged for long periods of time. It might be worth popping the back off and disconnecting the battery to see if will power on then. You'll need a T6 screwdriver, but otherwise it's pretty easy.
