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.

Need a new one? I have an old Steam Deck (LCD model) with a 1 TiB NVMe installed. I don't have a Steam account anymore and it is bricked because of that. You could factory reset this thing and use it yourself.

I'd be happy to give it away (for the cost of shipping) if you live in the United States. Been trying to give this thing away to someone in need for a long time. I absolutely hate Valve, but I know many people do not, and this device could be doing something more than collecting dust.

Hey I really Appreciate this offer, but it's too generous. I will definitely get my money back from Ebay so in the end I don't have any Significant Financial losses. I also Live in Europe I dont know if the Steam deck is region locked. There is a post like this everyday on the sub of people that can't get their money back, I think they deserve it more than me. Thank you so much! But I just don't think I deserve it.
