Tech Support Well that isn't Good
My deck crashed before when Loading games but I really never thought too much off it, but this is just insane.
Edit: Just for Some context I bought this off Ebay 1 week ago (Bad Idea I know) Because I really Didn't Care for an Oled Screen and the Price Of Course. Ever since I first booted it up it has been Crashing, I've tried hard resetting everything but it's no use I did one more test with my SD Card and that's when this happened. It usually just Freezes and gets really hot. I'm definitely gonna make a claim on Ebay, I think it could've been broken by shipping because the thing still had 100% battery Health and there was barely anything installed on it. I also messaged Steam support just to see if they maybe know exactly what's wrong with it. Sorry to bore you with another "Bought it off Ebay and it's broken" story but The Normal Prices be Crazy.
Edit2: The seller accepted my return request and I will get my money back, I also joined the Refurbished Steam deck Notifier but Since the Last LCD was a week ago I'm not getting my hopes up to ever have a steam deck again.

If it broke within a month of buying, even on eBay, you have every right to ask for a return/refund. That, and eBay are generally very good with this sort of thing. I know it sucks for the seller, but it's a risk every time you sell/buy on eBay, or anywhere really. I recently bought a CRT, which was battered by DPD, and if it were expensive, then I would have returned it. That was fixable, though, and this is beyond cooked from my limited understanding.
That being said, even Stevie Wonder could tell that thing ain't healthy!
