ExcessBLarg! posted:Isn't the iFixit method just waving a heatgun over it while trying to shim it out from the underside? Seems pretty straightforward, if annoying. Yeah, I'm just wondering if being able to tightly focus the heat would allow the glue to soften quicker compared to a heat gun, which has a relatively wide area of heat and takes a longer time and heats up all kinds of poo poo that you don't need heated . Think of a .22 compared to a shotgun with no choke.

Yeah, I wasn't going to go crazy with the heat, my station will hold temps down to like 175F.

Steam Deck Get! Downloading the games and what not. Boy this little thing pumps out some heat eh? The fans definitely a little louder than I expected with it just downloading things but not too bad considering all the complaints, we'll see after it's under a heavy load.

Working out where the install was in the file system took the longest time. Old game needs some tweaking and messing around with, but I'm so happy right now this rules

tbh this will actually be my first soldering project ever when I get the sticks in Is there a good recommendation for a small, easily portable soldering kit? I don’t want a big setup

Tiny Timbs posted:tbh this will actually be my first soldering project ever when I get the sticks in I couldn’t find my iron so I bought the most simple cheapest 60w one they had at the hardware store around the corner. I also bought solder but it turns out you don’t need any, the sticks come with solder pads pre applied, all you need to do is melt them with one hand and touch it with the wire with your other hand. Job done. The most complicated part was actually the software calibration, shoot me a PM if you can’t figure it out.

Yeah I modded my Wii back in the day with barely any experience and a $10 iron from radio shack. Worked just fine and that had some small and close together solder points. Just need a steady hand

I'm trying to get a bunch of Roms and BIOS files onto the Steam Deck's microSD card. I have a desktop PC (ethernet cable, to my rouiter), but it has no wifi card or anything. I don't have any kind of USB hub for the Steam Deck. I also don't have a USB drive to throw stuff on (and a USB-A to C cable). Any idea how I can get this stuff over? If I had a wireless card on my desktop I'd just use Winpinator/Warpinator but that doesn't seem to be an option for me...

homeless snail posted:As long as the wifi is on the same network as the ethernet it shouldn't matter. I don't use Warpinator though so idk how that works. I just boot into Desktop mode, type "sudo systemctl start sshd" into the terminal (you'll have to set a password with passwd first if you have not done that), and connect to the deck with Filezilla via SFTP. Continues running in gaming mode and everything until you fully shut down the Steam Deck. This is the way I do it, but with “enable” instead of “start” so I don’t have to start it manually every time. If you want to use the SD card in Windows you have to do a bunch of bullshit or get a program like Linux Files Systems to easily mount ext4 drives. I did the latter yesterday to switch SD cards and it worked fine. There’s a 10 day trial. Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Aug 4, 2022 |

Chinook posted:I'm trying to get a bunch of Roms and BIOS files onto the Steam Deck's microSD card. Like snail said, you don't need a wireless adapter on your PC. Just open Winpinator, go to preferences, and change the adapter from automatic to the same adapter your ethernet cable is plugged into. Automatic works for some people, I guess, but I had to manually change it to get the Deck to show up in the list as Online. Changed the adapter prefs in Warpinator on the Deck to wlan0 too. As long as it is the same home network, it is fine. From there, it is simply a matter of transferring the files or folders and then moving them to the proper directories.

homeless snail posted:Any $10-20 iron you pick up on Amazon or heck, a hardware store or whatever, is going to be functionally the same for this kind of thing or any home repair type work, I wouldn't worry about it too much. The kit has a pre tinned solder pad but wouldn't hurt buying a little bit of (lead imo) solder also. You only need to actually worry about what you're buying if you're doing harder delicate circuit board work. ehhhhh "Home repair" in the sense of soldering your pipes or whatever, sure, but if you're thinkering with existing tech you almost guaranteed need to get something that can variable-temperature to the 700-750 range, you can't guarantee whatever existing solder is in your tech is going to have a conveniently low melting point

Think of a .22 compared to a shotgun with no choke. I guess my concern would be if you actually do need it to be diffused over the entire battery to get it out? Like it looks like the adhesive is over the whole back of the battery, so you might be quicker in getting it off of an edge, but you can't really soften the middle very well if you have concentrated heat.

Say, I just noticed something - the new case I got with my replacement Steam Deck has white zippers, where the original ones were definitely black. Not sure if it signifies a replacement unit or just supplier variation (Edit: I have a 512GB unit)

soldering is not hard and doing one wire on each stick is about the easiest possible "baby's first soldering job" that you could ask for.

At this point I spend more time getting games loaded in and the configurations set juuuuuuust right than actually playing games. Not for any bad reason but because the novelty of being able to play a game on the go is more valuable to me than actually playing the game I guess. Vampire Survivors has probably claimed 80% of my deck time.
