Steam deck power button is getting less and less responsive
IDK if this channel includes hardware problems as well. The power button on my steam deck 500 gig LCD model is just getting less and less responsive and it takes tons of presses to turn on my steam deck now.

TLDR board shifted little bit down and button is not touching switch on PCB
I do not feel confortable disassembling it myself
in that case RMA
what does RMA stand for
Return Merchandize Authorization. in other words make a warranty claim with valve to fix your device
alternatively bring it to a repair shop to do the job for you if they can
Earlier today I used a Q-Tip with rubbing alcohol and the button works so much better now
so it's responsive as you expected?
mostly yeah
probably something in there blocking the contacts, I eat food when I use my steam deck
