Left joystick button (L3) not working anymore
Hey everyone,
My Steam Deck OLED has been great so far, but a week ago the L3 button (pressing the left stick) suddenly stopped working. The stick itself still moves normally and registers movement in games and also in tge testing area (the touch is recognized too), but the click action for L3 doesn’t register at all anymore.
I even tried replacing the joystick module with a Gulikit one, but I had the same problem with the new module.
I bought this used SD from a guy a couple of months ago and I don't think Valve support is available in my country.
Has anyone else run into this issue with the OLED model?
If so, were you able to fix it, or did you have to RMA/contact Valve support?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
