Something strange happened to me for the first time in the two weeks I’ve owned a Steam Deck.
I pressed the power button and felt the haptic feedback but the screen didn’t turn on. After 10 seconds I decided to try again, this time the screen turned on but the top bar of gaming mode wasn’t there. So I switched to desktop and back to gaming mode, and the top bar was displayed correctly.
I’m extremely worried about the first issue (the screen not turning on after pressing the power button), probably because I keep reading how delicate the power button can be.
Do you think this was hardware-related? I can only hope it isn’t, considering that the haptic feedback was there while the top bar wasn’t (maybe crashed right after pressing the power button the first time, causing the Deck to return to sleep?); also, I’m on the preview channel.
Should I be worried? Should I open a ticket?
Thank you
The first one seems like bug on my laptop with Mint XFCE (happened also on Manjaro XFCE). When my brightness is set on lowest setting the monitor don’t turn on. I have to blindly log in and bump it up with hot key.
But I don’t know how common this bug is and lately there are lots of bugs because of s0 sleep in new hardware.
Yeah I also remember that bug back when I was on Manjaro XFCE. And I do have the brightness set to 1% (I mostly play at night)
