Steam Deck Touch Screen Not Working? Try These Troubleshooting Steps
Is your Steam Deck’s touch screen not responding? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. At Salvation Repair, we understand how frustrating it can be when your device’s touch screen stops working. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the issue.
Before we dive into the troubleshooting steps, make sure you’ve tried the basics. Clean the screen with a soft cloth and ensure there are no obstructions or debris on the screen. Also, check if the issue persists in different games or apps.
Causes of Touch Screen Issues
There are several reasons why your Steam Deck’s touch screen may not be working. Here are some possible causes:
1. Game Not Fully Compatible
If the touch screen issue only occurs in certain games, it might be due to compatibility problems. Steam Deck’s Proton translation layer can sometimes cause issues with graphics compatibility. Check the game’s compatibility rating and try updating the game or Proton.
2. Software or Firmware Corruption
Corrupted software or firmware can cause touch screen issues. Try resetting your Steam Deck to its default settings or updating the firmware. If you’re not concerned about losing your settings, you can perform a system reset using Valve’s OS Recovery Instructions.
3. Bad Display Cable
A faulty display cable can prevent the touch screen from working. If you’ve recently repaired your Steam Deck, check the display cable for any damage or issues.
4. Faulty or Damaged Screen
If the touch screen issue persists, it’s possible that the screen itself is faulty or damaged. You may need to replace the screen. At Salvation Repair, we offer a limited lifetime guarantee on all parts and labor.
5. Motherboard Failure
In some cases, the motherboard may be the culprit behind the touch screen issue. If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it’s possible that the motherboard has failed.
If you’re not comfortable with DIY repairs or if the issue persists after trying the above steps, consider scheduling a repair with us at Salvation Repair. Our expert technicians will diagnose and fix the issue, and we offer a limited lifetime guarantee on all parts and labor.
