| [title] Remove the SSD shielding | |
| [* icon_note] The SSD is wrapped in ESD shielding that will need to be transferred to the replacement SSD. Alternatively, replacement shielding can be found [product|IF260-036|here|new_window=true]. | |
| [* black] Use a pair of tweezers to slide the shielding off of the SSD. | |
| [* black] If the shielding feels stuck, use a pair of tweezers to peel off and remove it instead. Take care to keep it in the best condition possible if you want to reuse it. | |
| [* black] Only the SSD remains. | |
| [* icon_note] The Steam Deck uses a single-sided M.2 2230. | |
| [* icon_reminder] To recover, repair, or re-image your SSD, follow Valve's [link|https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/1b71-edf2-eb6d-2bb3|Steam Deck recovery instructions|new_window=true]. | |
| + | [* icon_note] Note: The Steam Deck's buttons, thumbsticks, and touchpads may not register inputs at first after re-imaging the SSD. Use the touchscreen to follow initial SteamOS setup, allowing the device to download updates. Functionality should return once the Steam Deck restarts. |
