Introduction |
| Use this guide to replace the left thumbstick on your Steam Deck. The stick is part of a complete module and needs to be replaced as one unit. Although nearly identical, the procedure for the right thumbstick can be found [guide|148895|here|new_window=true]. | | | Before you begin, completely ***power down and unplug all cables*** from your Steam Deck. Remember to follow general electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety procedures while repairing the device. | | These steps only describe how to physically remove and replace your thumbstick. ***You may need additional software tools and calibration procedures*** to get the replacement to function as intended. | | ***Replacement thumbsticks require calibration to work as expected.*** Read about how to do that [guide|150415|here|new_window=true]. |
