| [* icon_caution] Turn on your Steam Deck and allow the battery to discharge below 25% before starting your repairs, as a charged lithium-ion polymer battery can be dangerous if accidentally punctured. | |
| [* icon_note] As an extra precaution, Valve recommends putting your Steam Deck into ***battery storage mode*** within the BIOS before starting any internal repairs. [guide|149962|Read how to do that here]. | |
| [* black] Power down your Steam Deck and unplug any cables. | |
| [* icon_caution] If you have a microSD card installed, ***make sure to remove it*** before opening the Steam Deck. If you attempt to remove the back cover with it still installed, [post|744361|it could snap right in half|new_window=true]. | |
| [* icon_note] During your repair, it can be helpful at times to lay the Steam Deck face-down into its case to protect the thumbsticks and prevent wobble. |
