Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 2 Steps
Hey there! If you’re thinking about putting your device into battery storage mode for a long nap instead of repairs, make sure to take your battery’s energy down to a cool 50-60% before tucking it in for a snooze.
Ready to tuck your Steam Deck into battery storage mode? You’ve come to the right place! Before you dive into any internal repairs, it’s a smart move to enable battery storage mode for added safety and to keep your device in tip-top shape. If you’re planning on storing it for a while instead of doing repairs, just make sure to charge or discharge that battery to a cozy 50-60% before flipping the switch to storage mode. And remember, while it’s in storage mode, your Steam Deck will be as quiet as a mouse and won’t respond to those power button presses. When you’re ready to wake it up, simply plug it into the charger. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 1
Get ready to light up your Steam Deck and watch it dance its way into the BIOS menu!
– First things first, let’s turn off your Steam Deck for a moment of peace.
– Once it’s powered down, press and hold the volume up (+) button while you gently tap the power button.
– Now, go ahead and release both buttons like a pro.
Step 2
While you’re in the BIOS, use the D-Pad to glide through the options and hit the A button to make your selection.
Your Steam Deck is now gracefully entering storage mode. Nice!
– First up, let’s find your way to the Setup Utility!
– Next, head over to the Power menu.
– Time to choose the Battery storage mode!
– Go ahead and hit Yes to confirm your choice.
– Remember, while your Steam Deck is in storage mode, it won’t respond to those power button presses. To bring it back to life, just plug it into the charger.
