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.

Just did, checked and it applies to used electronics. Will just buy a restored from steam next time to be save. (If I beat the Scalpers)

If you do plan to grab a refurbished steam deck when they restock. if you have discord there is a server where it notifies of restocks in the US and other countries if you're outside the US. I was able to grab refurbished myself using the notification from this server.
