Steam Deck volume increasing on its own
My LED Steam Deck recently started to increase volume on its own. Even when I turn it down, it goes back up to max right away. Rebooting the system seems to fix the issue for a while, but sooner or later the volume starts increasing again. One time, while rebooting the system, the Steam Deck entered the BIOS, which makes me suspect that the issue might be hardware (audio board) rather than software. Can anyone provide any guidance on this issue?
Also, if the issue is the audio board, does anyone know if iFixit is planning to start selling the audio board for LED Steam Decks (F7A) again? At the moment, the only available Steam Deck audio board is the F7B which is not compatible with LED Steam Decks.
Thank you!

Hey there OP, before disassembling your Steam Deck, have you made sure that the volume buttons are not getting stuck and are free of debris? I'd try to clean the volume buttons before going any deeper.

Hello! Thank you for your reply. I checked and there seems to be no debris that is preventing the buttons to work properly. I also opened the back of the Steam Deck and there are no issues with the mechanics of the audio board buttons either (the audio buttons on the audio board are not stuck).
At the moment, whenever I restart the Steam Deck it always boots into BIOS, even when I am not pressing the 'volume up' when turning it on.
