So i have a steam deck OLED model, i believe its an F7G. I played deltarune on it a few days ago, and turned it off normally. When i went to turn it back on the power light just flashed and turned off, no image, boot chime or fan. I connected it to its original 45 watt charger and tried again, still all i got was a flashing light. Your typical 3 slow blinks. when i unplugged it, the power light flickered instead of slow blinked and I have no idea what else to try, and here is just a short list of the things i have tried
1: connected to power normally
2: unplugged and tried booting
3: entered and exited battery storage mode
4: unplugged battery and tried running off AC
5 disconnected battery and NVME drive and tried running off AC
6: disconnected NVME and tried running off battery
7: CMOS reset button combination

I think i might have to RMA it as it just randomly happened, i'm sure there's more i tried but its late at the time of posting and i tried everything reddit suggested. If anyone has something i might have missed, please leave it in the replies. Thanks and i hope everyone has a pleasant evening.

You have never mentioned going to recovery menu, which I would have done first. hold - while power on. What do you get from that?

oh, that gets me nothing as well as the device is completely unresponsive aside from the power LED flashing. I opened a ticket with Steam Support to see if we can't troubleshoot it, and if worst comes to worst, i'm forced to RMA it.
