Valve's Steam Deck, the company's upcoming portable PC that shares more than a little DNA with the Nintendo Switch, is an impressively compact and tightly designed machine. It's built in a very specific way, and although you can open it up and swap out some of the internal parts, Valve is strongly recommending you not do that. But they are going to show you how anyway.
A new teardown video from Valve warns against opening up the Steam Deck at all, saying that doing so and swapping out parts "may mess things up, like profoundly," and should only be done if you "feel like taking big risks with your property, and with your life, which could end if you do this wrong." That's because damaging the machine's internal battery could cause it to catch-fire. Also, damaging the Steam Deck by opening it up and messing with the parts is, not surprisingly, not covered under warranty.
But, if you really are determined to tinker with the Steam Deck, the video above will show you how to do it, specifically how to open up the machine and swap out the machine's thumbsticks and SSD. To open up the Steam Deck and remove these parts, you'll have to take out a bunch of very tiny screws. Valve warns that the special screws holding the machine together are easily stripped and damaged, so make sure you're careful. You'll also want to make sure you are static-free, as any kind of discharge could permanently damage the Steam Deck's internal components.
