iFixit released a Steam Deck Toolkit
The Steam Deck handheld console has been quite friendly to DIY enthusiasts since its inception. Valve not only provided detailed disassembly diagrams but also allowed users to replace components such as the SSD, joysticks, and even the casing. According to reports by GamingOnLinux and Windows Central, the renowned teardown and repair website iFixit has recently launched a Steam Deck toolkit, offering a reliable set of tools for those wishing to modify or repair their devices.
The toolkit includes seven tools, detailed as follows:
- iFixit Precision Bit Driver: Ergonomically designed for a comfortable, non-slip grip ensuring precise handling.
- iFixit Precision 4 mm Screwdriver Bits: Includes PH0, PH1 and TR6 bits, crafted from high-quality S2 steel for exceptional durability and precision.
- Spudger: Poke and pry safely with this spudger made from glass-filled nylon.
- Tweezers: Precision tweezers for handling small components.
- iFixit Opening Picks: Can be used for prying, sliding, separating, and air guitaring.
- ESD-Safe Brush & Precision Cleaning Brushes: Free your console from dust & debris.
- Anti-Static Wrist Strap: Essential for safeguarding your electronics from ESD damage during repairs.
iFixit states that this toolkit can handle various Steam Deck repairs. Whether increasing the storage capacity of the 64GB LCD model or replacing the fan in the OLED version, users will find the necessary tools within. Priced at $12.95, it might seem expensive from the perspective of domestic players.
