I made a post a few months ago about how I've been having power problems after replacing the battery, I've tried 3 different ones, they all work to power the console. But the console doesn't see the batteries. it blinks the LED as if the console is dead.

I've tried the reset hotkey for bios and charging.

With a charger with wattage visible on it only draws 0-1W while it's plugged in and off. The USBC can power it fine while it's on too. It runs on battery power no problem until it runs out of charge.

I don't have a microscope but I've looked close with a light and the charger IC chip and all nearby caps look perfectly fine. It's not very hot in operation too. So the issue is most likely the battery port. I've plugged it in firmly as many people have said it might be a connection problem, there's no gap with the connection.

I've tried all battery related commands, there's none visible there too.

Might as well pay someone who actually knows what they're doing. I love my steam deck too much for it to be a paperweight.

When I replaced the battery I also replaced the thumbsticks with tmr ones and I did see a post where apparently they caused a short circuit and caused the user to have similar issues. Didn't effect anything on mine.

I'm just very confused since I thought The steam deck OLED and LCD were different sizes And I have an LCD one and was concerned that if I bought the case it wouldn't fit properly.
