"The short answer is: [link|https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/4E41-6123-79EF-25BA|no|new_window=true]. The long answer? It's a little complicated.

Thankfully, Valve designed the Steam Deck to make it easy for owners to open it up and replace things on their own. In a welcome move, Valve even collaborated with the excellent [[Topic:Steam Deck|'how to' website iFixit|new_window=true]] to offer replacement parts and detailed repair guides — such as [guide|148714|this complete teardown|new_window=true]. iFixit have rated many products over the years for their repairability and give the Steam Deck a good "''seven out of ten''" rating.

However, the Steam Deck remains an electronic device with a Lithium-battery, and Valve stated [link|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxnr2FAADAs|clearly in their|new_window=true] teardown guide that you should not open it up if you are unsure what to do. This is why they only recently [link|https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1675200/view/3398545888823804940?utm_source=overkillwtf|announced their own repair centres|new_window=true]."
