This is closely on my mind because my steamdecks usb-c has started to break/wiggle and only charges now(No video out).
I figured surely the usb-c connector is on a small daughter board that would be easy to replace, but actually it seems directly soldiered to the mainboard and I don't have the tools/skills to do that type of repair myself. T_T
I hope a future version of the steamdeck can use something like this compression mount usb-c connector that would be easy to replace even when it's directly on a mainboard. Also they should drop the 2x usb-c unit in there to boot, a full computer like the steamdeck being stuck with a single usb-c connector is just criminal.
